Commercial Description:
The Moa Brewing Company was established in 2003 by Josh Scott with a focus on brewing premium, boutique beers to an ever discerning beer market. Moa's key point of difference is in its brewing technique. Bottled fermented and conditioned to give a natural, more consistent carbonation and flavour. The beer is left to lie on it's lees until deemed ready to be 'disgorged', a process that involves removing most of the lees from the bottle resulting in a clean, bright beer, right to the very last drop. Hence Methode Traditionelle. Most enjoyable with food or chilled on it's own.

Bottle - 375ml. Cloudy blond body topped with a thick white frothy head. Well balanced malty/hoppy aroma with coriander and spicy hints. Nice, sharp hoppy taste with malty and herbal notes. Ends with a decent bitter finish. I am not sure this is a Lager. Well done!

Almost clear, golden body with a lasting short white head. I like the bitterness in this one, certainly can taste the yeast, grassiness and citrus. Yes this does taste like a premium lager.

Hazy golden, very large head that lasts. Aroma is grass, bread, lightly fruity with a little bit of yeast. Medium to light body, fairly high carbonation. I really wanted to like this more.

(Bottle 37,5 cl) Hazy, golden with a rough, off-white head. Aroma of malt, flowery hops and a little yeast. Medium body with a very soid malt base, a heavy carbonation with huge bubbles and a little yeast. Very flowery hopping that also leaves a distinct bitterness. Huge yeast sediment. Exciting. 050208
