Capital Bavarian Lager

Brewed by Capital Brewery
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Pours a lightly hazy amber with a very thin cap of white foam. This changes rapidly to just a ring around the edge, leaving minimal spotty lace. Mild sweet malt in the aroma with a touch of caramel malt. Subtle sweet honeymalt / caramel malt flavor, minimal hop presence for balance only. Better than a macrolager by far, but ultimately lacking any interesting character. For the same price you could pick up their Special Pilsner (which is much better), or if you were so inclined - three times as many fluid ounces of Stroh’s.

Clear dandelion yellow pour produces a grainy hay aroma. I’m almost finished with the glass and haven’t gotten much for flavor aside from a mostly malty, sour grain body with a little citrus punch. Really though, it was quite nice – crisp and clean in the mouth and likely a good choice for summer.

Nice pour with a mild head. Mild malt flavors and a touch of honey. Overall decent beer.

Bottle. Pale golden color with small white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Slightly sweet taste with a bitter finish. Light and refreshing. Decent beer.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas of grain, light honey, and some bread. Tastes of bread, grain, honey, and a light grassy finish. Thin body.

Sampled at Capital Brewery in Middleton, WI. Golden in color with a large, frothy white head. Honey, grainy aroma. Light grains in the aroma, some clover honey. Light carbonation with a sweet wheaty aftertaste.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours golden with a white head. Aroma of fruit, hops, and sweet malts. The flavor is boring, mildly bitter, slightly sweet, and fruit. ok beer.

Lots of chalky malt taste, no hops, and a yeasty sour lemon taste that unevenly clashes with the excessive malt. Too make it worse it is has too much carmel sweetness. Largers are often dull and bland and this is very true of this stuff.
