MOA Breakfast: Review


Ale brewed with natural flavors
Super Premium Belgian Style
Bottle Fermented and Conditioned
MOA Brewing Company
New Zealand
5.5% abv
12.7 oz bottle
4 pack $22.99

Appearance: dirty lemon-aid with a fine white head and no lacing

Aroma: cherry bubble gum, fruity,

Flavors: medicinal, cough drop like cherry flavor with a little white fruit in the mix, a little dusty wheat

Mouthfeel: light carbonation, light fruitiness, light sweetness on the front along with that medicinal note, dry and a slight hoppiness on the finish,

To the Point: the jury is still out on this one; I still can’t get over that this is a wheat type ale; with the word ‘breakfast’ on the label I was thinking when I opened this that it would be a stout type ale.  An interesting ale … ‘interesting’ being a euphemism for I am not really sure about this one.  Final thought – the medicinal cough drop flavor is too much of a negative.
