Bottle. Poured honey amber with thick white head. Powerful malt aroma, grass, honey, light syrup. Medium flavour with strong malt tones. Sweet finish with a hop kiss. Seek it in spring. Doesn’t tast as strong as it is.

I hate the new capital labels; thank goodness it’s the same beer in those bottles. The beer pours perfectly clear with a deep blonde color and a thick white head. The aroma has some honey with some hay and earthy hops. The flavor has some earthy hops up front with some honey and a little saltiness. Some spiciness, generally pretty dry. Pretty nice stuff.

Pours deep amber with forthy head. Aroma of sweet malts. Malt comes through in flavor with a warmth going down.

Clear copper color with a small head. Fruity nose. Rich sweet malty taste with whisps of grape and apple. Creamy mouth feel. Sweet malt finish with just a subliminal touch of hop. There’s a dopplebock brewed less than a mile from my house, Abita Andygator, that some beer geeks argue *can’t really be a dopplebock* because it doesn’t taste like one. Well, I’ve now found another doppelbock that’s very similar to Andygator: Capital Blonde.

Bottle thanks to beervana. Yummy brew. I took this straight from the fridge, so I didn’t get much of an aroma. Hint of fruit, almost like a wheat beer. Look was cloudy amber with a thin white head. Flavor is sweet and rich. Not a traditional dark double bock, but definitely rich and full.

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.

Bottle from JPDIPSO. Pours a thick blonde apricot color with nice off white head. Malty sweet biscuity aroma and flavor. Toffee and caramel also make an apperence.Thick and rich onb the palate. Not bad
