Bali Hai Day Lager

Tap to rate

Released in 2021 to celebrate Indonesia as a romantic holiday destination, this golden lager opens with a tropical note over a sweet, malty aroma. Bitterness stays very low to nearly absent, so the palate is crisp and clean. Pilsner malt meets German Herkules and Hallertauer hops at 4.9 percent alcohol.
