Capital Blonde Doppelbock

Brewed by Capital Brewery
Style: Doppelbock
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Bottle courtesy of Philip. Had this before and didn’t rate it for some reason. Bright copper in color with decent white head. Aroma is full of bready sweet malt, (amberish flavor profile) with some honey and grass. Flavor much the same except the grassy hop character starts to dominate and turns it somewhat skunky. Just not my thing. Very cloying mouthfeel, again much like an amber. Just average overall.

Bottle from secret santa. Thanks! Pale amber color. Nice small to microbuble head. Little clinging to glass edge. Aroma is mild of a little corriander, and the mildest of skunk. Flavor is mild, possibly a little bit vegetal and tiniest of sour. But these off flavors are very mild. Leans toward the sweet side. Medium to light body. Decent if there is nothing else around.

Bottle. Pours clear dark gold with a 2 finger beige head that results in spotty lacing. The nose is caramel and dark fruits. The taste is caramel malt, brown sugar and light earthy hops in the finish. Light-to-medium bodied. Decent Dopplebock.

From a 12 oz. twist cap brown bottle with no bottled/freshness date. Poured an ever so slightly hazy orangy bronze with a nice foamy off-white head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing. Aromas of sweet grainy malts, a touch of caramelization, a light fruitiness and spicy alcohol. Moderate carbonation and a softly crisp, smooth lightish medium bodied mouthfeel. Caramelized and grainy malts, the right amount of sweetness, a pleasant fruitiness, apples and pears, spicy hops mixing in with the warming alcohol, and a dryish spicy and fruity finish. Another great doppelbock from Capital, one of my favorite American breweries.

Strawberry blonde color; head dissipates quickly; burnt citrus with heavy alcohol in the nose. Lots of malty sweetness. Warming. A little effervescent on the tongue.

Some mentioned a hoppiness to this beer, my bottle has almost no hop character, its quite malty, sweet, which usually I stay away from,but it works good for this beer. Alcohol is well hidden, long sweet aftertaste. I’d have it again. Thanks to Duane for this bottle!

Light amber with slowly diminishing white head that laces well. Apples, caramel, bread, spice, cinnamon. Malty sweet, bready and smooth. Alcohol a little noticeable. Another nice doppel from Capital.

pours crystal clear and dirty blond with an off white head. sweet smelling... pale malt, grass, yeasty earthiness and red apples. the flavor is surprisingly yeasty.... sweet...really sweet graininess, apples, faint citrus, grass, wet straw and a mildly bitter finish. a bit too sweet without a balance. medium bodied. it is a bit slick and creamy on the tongue. 6/3/6/4/13/3.2
