Smash Maibock
SMASH stands for single malt, single hop: only Pilsner malt and Spalt Select hops, with nowhere to hide. The result is malty, strong and full-flavoured, yet lighter and hoppier than a classic bock and easy to drink for its 6.7%. A spring release in the old tradition of brewing strong beer in winter.
