Moa's Five Hop is a captivating take on the traditional English ale. Brewed by the renowned Moa Brewing Company, this beer boasts an impressive 6.2% alcohol content. A range of New Zealand hops, including Cascade, Pacifica, Motueka, Hallertau, and Sauvvin, lend a savory, hoppy aroma and a creamy, honeyed character on the palate. The use of Pilsner, Vienna, Munich, and Crystal malts creates a distinctive mouthfeel and flavor profile, while an English ale yeast provides a low apparent attenuation and a sweeter finish. Bottle-conditioned, this strong ale is best served at 9-11°C in a tulip glass, allowing its floral and aromatic notes to shine. Moa's Five Hop has earned accolades, including a Gold medal at the Australian International Beer Awards and a Silver and Bronze at the Brewing Industry International Awards.
