Beer - #374 - Moa - Methode (a redux)

Moa Methode- I've reviewed this before #47 on the list  and I gave it an 8.5 then, this was on special and therefore qualifies as purchasable :-)

Brewed by Moa Brewing Company and is styled as a  Pilsener and they are in Blenheim, New Zealand

A 750ml bottle this time, with 5% ABV , this should be around 165 calories a serving, also this is 2.96 standard drinks in the bottle.

Moa Methode is bottle fermented and conditioned to give a natural, more consistent carbonation and flavour. Due to the natural brewing process of Methode Moa, a light, beneficial sediment will remain. This sediment protects the beer from premature aging and leaves full, slightly spicy characters on the palate.

Moa Methode is a German style pilsner with a high bitterness balanced with a relatively full mouth feel. Citrus hop characters dominate aroma with the presence of fresh bread yeast notes. It can either be poured carefully off the lees or alternatively with the lees mixed in if a strong yeast character is desired.

Moa Methode is a complex pilsner best served in a pilsner glass at approximately 6˚C to maximise aromatic release.

'k... or from the fridge in my case. Foil, cork and Cage make this a performance beer.
