Weka Pear Cider is a delightful perry from the renowned Moa Brewing Company. Crafted with a blend of North and South Island pears, this cider boasts an off-dry, approachable style that truly showcases the pear's vibrant flavors. The aroma and palate are brimming with fresh pear and crisp, refreshing notes, making it a fantastic alternative to traditional apple ciders. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures, the subtle fruit nuances are meticulously preserved, resulting in a balanced and harmonious drinking experience. After a careful fermentation process and a period of conditioning, Weka Pear Cider emerges with an abundance of pear and pip fruit characters. The smooth initial taste gives way to a medium-dry sweetness, complemented by a refreshing acidity that lingers on the palate. This cider has earned recognition, including a Gold medal at the Asia Beer Awards and a Silver medal at the New Zealand Fruit Winemaker Awards, testament to its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
