Moa Methode - New Zealand - 18/12/2013

The low down:
BEER FOR OLYMPIANS? What are they competing in!? Darts is Olympic right, and snooker? This is a spicy fruity Pilsener, though it is lacking the hop intensity of its European brethren, I don't think it suffers for it.

For those that don’t know, the Moa was a gigantic 3 meter tall man-eating mega-fauna that inhabited New Zealand right up until the 14th century AD.

Before the New Zealand Tourism board gets too upset, I should probably retract the man-eating and replace it with man eaten. As with most flightless birds, we ate them to extinction. Go us.

Now the next trick is to drink Moa to extinction.

Southern hemisphere summer refreshing. It's super effective.

Super tasty, little bit fruity, little bit spicy, it’s probably cinnamon and apricots.

5%. Pilsner to the end.
Price: 5/10
$6.30 Reasonable, but given that they are pushing this stuff like 42 below vodka, it could stand to drop a buck or so.
Total: 34/50





Match it with dodo, moa, Galapagos turtle or white rhino. Spot the theme.
Cheers.
