Mosa

Tap to rate

Voodoo's take on a brunch beer: a Belgian-style ale with fruity esters, a hint of spice and a touch of sweetness, malt-forward underneath, with a citrus note from tangerine. Apricot and Madagascar vanilla round out the recipe, and the beer is effervescent. 5.5% ABV, served on draft only.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and malty, with soft grain character providing the foundation. The mid-palate develops fruity complexity from the Belgian yeast, layered with citrus brightness and subtle vanilla sweetness, while moderate bitterness from noble hops remains restrained and balanced. The finish is refreshing and crisp, with the spice note lingering gently on the palate.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
