Capital 1900

Formerly brewed at Capital Brewery
Style: Pilsener
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Pretty cloudy sunny yellow sunrise. Cool, crisp minty malts with some minty (northern brewer?) hops. Very sweet, syrupy malt flavor - mostly dough, but some cookie aspects. Almost non-existent hops bitterness. Muddled, indefinite finish. Not very impressive.

Pretty average beer. Acceptable, but rather on the thin side. Kind of disappointing coming from Capital.

Poured a medium and lightly cloudy golden color with a very small sized white head. Aromas of flowers. Tastes of grain, flowers with a very light grassy finish. Aromas and tastes on the lighter side. Thin and watery body.

Amber body, off-white creamy head. Pale perfumey malt aroma. Need to examine more, but a nice mildly sweet beer with slight hopping to keep it real. Small, but nice drink. A bit hard to distinguish from the Oktoberfest, which I just had two days ago. Probably slightly different hopping.

Orange-tinted gold; virtually no head, just a mm-wide rim. Shoe polish, sweet cookie malt, nutty, some oxydation, honey. Nutty, again oxydized flavour, ending metallic bitterish after mainly sweet main taste, faint fruity. Weird fruit, as wild prunes or pimpernel... Very empty palate, slightly slick. Interesting from an historical point of view. Less from the beerlovers’ point.

(12oz bottle) Clear apple juice body with small white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, apple, bread, apricot. Taste is medium sweet, grassy, apple, some bread, light apricot. Watery light-medium body, some crispness. Because it aims for a style I know nothing about, I have no idea if it succeeds. That being said, it is flavorful and fairly enjoyable.

I am one of Capital’s biggest fans, but this was a disappointment. thin watery and not the customary flavor I’ve come to expect from a wonderful brewer of lagers.

stupid rate beer lost my rating and this isn’t worth typing it over again. blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
