Notes:
Moa Breakfast Beer is a blend of premium wheat malt, floral Nelson hops and cherries. A very refreshing and fruity lager specifically designed as a European-style breakfast beer but more commonly enjoyed as a mid-afternoon beverage here in New Zealand. Although not always.

Aroma: cherries. It really isn’t subtle here!
Appearance: beautiful golden yellow. Head collapses to a thin lacing.
Taste: stunning. Very rich and fruity, but not sweet. No strong after taste - it drops its flavour and goes, leaving just a faint hint of cherry fruitiness at the back of the mouth. Very quaffable!

Poured out into a pint glass, the fruit aromas are enticing: apple, grapes, and cherry come on strong, mild floral notes also ride along into your nose. The Body itself is a light blonde/yellowish color and is hazy. It’s topped off with a nice thick white head that quickly dissipates into a layer of thin bubbles with some pretty good lacing. It is light-to-medium bodied, crisp and tart throughout. The cherry barely comes through, the spices are strong but not over powering. It dry and light, some berry flavors do come through in its aftertaste. Overall not a bad beer.

12.7 ounce bottle - $4.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
BB 24.2.14
Appearance: Pours a hazed, light gold body with a medium-sized, fizz-fueled, white head.
Smell: Ah, geez, it's one of those five-buck medicinal cherry beers. I want this cleared up right now!
Taste: You can tell there's a wheat-laced lager underneath a cherry flavor leaning towards Robitussin, which is the bulk of the taste lasting beyond the crisp finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Overall: The medicinal quality of this one is an instant turn off for me. Not the best use of five bucks, I must say.

Poured into flutes. The fruity aroma coming off of this thing after I popped the cork!
Honey blonde. Solid white collar has stuck, even after an inch.
Fruity strawberry, cherry, wheat malts, and an aroma of white wine. Florally and fruitly aromatic.
Lightly fruity. Cherry finish, but it's still dry and malty. Pale malts and notes of strawberry and white cranberry. Perfumey and spritzy.
Lovely and light. Has a great spritziness to it. Very enjoyable.
A nice light fruit beer. Could make for a nice early morning riser.

This beer is one of a kind. The nose is cherry kool-aid but the beer is dry and crisp. The cherry is only experienced in the nose. Very light straw color with striking white head. A good looking beer with a champagne-like character. Not overly bitter, slightly sour and refreshing.

What a wonderfully silly beer for breakfast! Are you the kind of person that scoops out a grapefruit for breakfast with a slice of toast? Then you should definitely try this unusual beer. I got cherry smell right off as the cork was popped off with a satisfying champagne like report followed by the ghost of vapor and bubbling inside. Both tart and sweet, lot of fruit flavor becoming more apple as the sips went on. I kept wanting to compare the mouthfeel to a good Lemoncello, so before the glass was empty I did a shot - Nope, there is no lemon in this, but I would compare the taste sensation to an ice cold low sugar glass of lemonade.
Carbonation on the glass walls was active and intense like champagne, but the light foamy head settled down fairly quickly. Tartness/bitterness challenged what I kept wanting to think was a really sweet base hiding in there but although the sugary notes were there I would have to call the final finish as tart. Not everyone is going to like this beer, but it is not some alco-pop thing, it is a finely crafted beverage of an extraordinary nature. I could see splashing some of this in a nice bitter stout for a change up, or making a "shandy" out of it, overall think of an apple/cherry lambic blended with a tart champagne. I really liked this, more than the scoring I put down. Everyone should at least try this to find one edge of what people are calling beer.
