Willi Becher draft at the brewpub in Kansas City, Missouri. Right off the bat - that’s a generous pour of a 10.8% beer. The pour is a murky copper brown with a well formed 1 inch off white head. The aroma is citrus resin, floral notes, grass, a bit of a peanut shell and softly malt sweet. The taste is big upfront in the resin citrus, pine, floral, the grass and mineral of the nose, along with an almost smoky element that is sort of toasty. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and the dry mineral slight alcohol finish. Managed the booze really well. These big booze hop bombs aren’t really my thing anymore, but this was a nice one.
