Wai Maibock is a robust Helles Bock that celebrates a "Doble Malta" profile, delivering a deep gold pour with brilliant clarity. The sensory experience is led by a rich, grainy-sweet malt presence reminiscent of fresh-baked bread and light toast, derived from a traditional blend of Munich and Vienna malts. This malty core is elegantly balanced by a moderate bitterness and subtle floral and spicy hop notes. At 7% ABV, it offers a smooth, well-attenuated finish with a faint, sophisticated alcohol warmth that highlights its clean lager character. It is a quintessential seasonal lager that prioritizes drinkability despite its strength.
