Birra Moretti Doppio Malto
Moretti's Doppio Malto tastes like it knows exactly what it wants: malty sweetness upfront, then a quick fade into clean grain and a faint mineral dryness. The body is medium but doesn't linger—it's built to drink, not contemplate. That 7.2% sits in the background; you feel it as warmth, not heat. It's the lager that makes you want another.
Hofbräu Maibock
Hofbräu's Maibock arrives heavier, richer—there's actual bread crust and honey in the glass before you taste it. The malt structure is thicker, more textured; it coats your palate in a way Moretti doesn't. Finish is slightly sweet and warming. It's a bock that respects its Bavarian roots without being stuffy. Sip this one slower.
