Williams Organic Pale Ale

Nice pale ale with s light hoppy finish. Clear on the pallet with a slight fruitiness to round out the crisp finish. I enjoyed this pale as it was perfect with a meal due to its light white head and crisp flavours. A low bitterness complements the fruity citrus hops and sweet aromour from the australian malts.. Great beer for the coming warmer weather. Score 8.6 out of 10.

MOA St Joseph's

P
Welcome to quality! A classic Belgian triple style ale. High in alcahol at 9.5% with the unmistakable quality of Belgian Hops that has a character that is built on spice and clove notes with a smooth finish that I often describe as sheer class. The aromour is pure bliss but the best thing I can say about this beer is to buy as many as you can afford because once you aquire a taste for this one you will just want more! This beer is a journey to the fine Belgian pubs of Europe with a fruity taste that makes you want to go on an a European beer adventure, Well soothe your yearn for quality with a short trip across the Tasman and enjoy this fine New Zealand beer. Score a perfect 10.

MOA Five Hop

One of my favourite New Zealand brewers has excelled themselves with this winter ale. It is rich in flavour from the combined hops. The nose of the beer is from the Nelson Hops with an oak finish that is almost honeyed and rich. More like a European smooth and creamy ale but I cannot bring my self to drink it warm. 6.1 % with medium bitterness (35 BTU) which means that it is full of character hoppy tones that speak volumes if the quality. Score 10 out of 10.

MOA Royal Belgian Double IPA

Watch out! This beer is sweet and rich but packs a wallop at 9.1% or 3.6 standard drinks in the 500 ml bottle. It is a limited edition brew so you better get in quick. I must say I really enjoyed this New Zealand brewers efforts to combine bitterness on the pallet with the sweet Belgian hops, in a true Belgian style ale. I must say this is quality from first sip to last and makes me feel like I am being transformed into royalty. Score 10 out of 10.

New Zealand has produced some if my favourite beers and this one is exceptional! Every once in awhile I come across something special that is just worth trying. This beer ticks all the boxes. Limited Edition but not limited on aromour or flavour. Rich fruity taste that is a blend Citrus  and Nelson Sauvin Belgian hops which delivers an awesome smell that says I am yours, so enjoy. The hoppy finish is clean and crisp as you would expect from a white IPA. This is pure class. At 6.4 % be careful as the finish is so clean that you will keep drinking this beautiful beer. Scores an clear 10 out of 10.
