3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Corked 750ml bottle. Slightly hazy straw body, sizeable creamy white head leaving clumpy lace.
Particularly tart citrus aroma; lemon, grapefruit, some grainy malt.
Body driven by plenty of zesty hop character; grapefruit again, passiofruit, melon in there, some grassiness with a reasonably decent grainy biscuit malt backbone. Finish is quite bitter, not too dry, quite clean.
Clean lager with spicy, citrusy/fruity hops typical of NZ varieties. Easy going and pretty nice in general, though the corked bottle seems a bit unnessesary.

I’m gonna throw three words out there....Average to suck! ridiculously priced beer that really doesn’t live up to expectations
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle in Hanmer Springs. Beer advertised as "Moa - Original" I think its this one. Description said Pilsner styled but if so its very untraditional. Cloudy pale/golden beer. Mild aroma, pleasant enough. Malty tasting beer for its colour with yeasty, citrus and perhaps banana flavours coming through in after taste. Is this a lager? Different tasting beer, not too bad. Expensive however.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sweet malt hop aroma with flowers. Cloudy yellow colour with good head and lacing. Sweet malt flavour with flowers. Smooth palate.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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!
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(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
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light golden and hazy body with extra large head with large boubles. Nose with hops, fruit and citrus. Fresh bitter taste with hops in the aftertaste.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle (750ml). Poured a hazy orange color with a tinge of brown and a large frothy head which was mostly lasting. Aroma was of honey with hints of grapes and some grassy hops. Flavor was of tropical fruits such as passion fruit with a decent bitterness, some honey and a spicy/peppery finish. Medium bodied with lively carbonation, dry texture, creamy mouthfeel and a good finish.
