Willebecher draft at Kay Bob’s Grille and Ale in Nashville, Tennessee. The pour is a hazed golden light copper with a thin white head. The aroma is fairly bland nose, with a bit of citrus and leaf. The taste is some of the leafy earth, along with a bit of sweet tart, and soft toasted bread. The palate is medium to light bodied with low carbonation and the earth leafy finish.

Thanks to decaturstevo for sharing the growler. Amber/orange pour with a generous mostly white head. Fruity aroma, bubblegum, malt. The flavor is sweet malt followed by the hop bitterness. A bit on the sweet side for my preference in IPA. The best Calfkiller that I have tried to date.
