Moa Marlborough

One week into a new term and I need nothing more than to go for a beer Friday after work. So it's straight off the train to the post office vaults. I try to order a kolsch by Heller but am told they are proving hard to get hold of so it has been replaced by a Moa methode pilsner all the way from New Zealand. This beer is distinctly ok, nothing special in any way and actually had quite a bitter up front taste that has no place in a pilsner.  The bottle declares two accolades, that it is the beer of Olympians, no wonder New Zealand don't win many golds they are all too pissed, and that it won a gold medal at the Asia beer awards 2011. Clearly 2011 not a marquee year for Asian beer. 

It's completely standard. 1.5 out of 5.
