Birra Moretti Doppio Malto if you want a heavier, malt-forward pour,
San Miguel Selecta if you want cleaner, more approachable strength.
The Moretti leans into its name with a denser body that justifies that extra 0.7% ABV—you'll actually *feel* it. San Miguel stays lighter on its feet despite matching the IBU count, making it easier to session. Both sit in that Euro strong lager sweet spot, but they're built for different moods.

Birra Moretti Doppio Malto
Birra Moretti Doppio Malto hits different. There's a real malt sweetness upfront—caramel, a whisper of bread crust—that hangs around longer than you'd expect. The 7.2% creeps up gently rather than announcing itself, which is dangerous in the best way. Finish is slightly sticky, intentionally so, like the beer wants to linger on your palate.
San Miguel Selecta
San Miguel Selecta drinks almost deceptively smooth for 6.5%. It's got a clean, slightly grainy character that lets the alcohol hide. There's minimal residual sweetness; instead you get a crisp dryness that makes the next sip feel necessary. It's the kind of beer that disappears quickly—not because it's thin, but because it's *efficient*.
