Capital 1900

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

(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.

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.

Kinda tastes like a cross between coors light and budweiser, but with a crisper hop aroma. Pale golden color with virtually no head. Perhaps my least favorite Capital product I have tried.

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.

It’s an okay Pilsener, good warm weather fare, but nothing special. Thick and golden with lively carbonation and a bubbly white head, this... Wait. The head and carbonation are gone. Anyway, this has a sweet malt aroma, the hops not really being present in the nose. Smooth to drink, it’s continues with the sweet malt in the flavor and adds a drop of lemon juice. The hops finally emerge in the finish, lightly floral and herbal. Okay, but not worth the six-pack price.

Clear golden color with really not much of a head. Dry malt aroma. Dry start with a nice sweet flavor hops. Rather nice malt finish. An enjoyable lager.

Average amber lager appearance, smallish head. Sweetish only faintly hoppy nose; flavor on the sweet side with a distinctive apricot presence, more malty than hoppy and as the label says, smooth. Quick clean finish. I liked this a little more than most of you, but I think 2002 American beermaking has 1900 beat hands down.

Beautiful light amber color. Nice caramel and honey aroma. Hint of wheat in the flavor. Finishes fairly smooth, but has a little bit of grainy aftertaste. Very little white head. Decent full mouth feel.
