Major Hockstetter's Secret Reserve
Ya volt mine heir! This super secret recipe will hit your thirst like a JU-87 Stuka Dive Bomber. A thick and creamy off white head that sticks around. Assertively hopped yet well balanced, a rich and full malt flavor with some fruity esters that survived the lagering process, this is a session beer worthy of any "altstad" brewpub in Düsseldorf!
