Capital Island Wheat

Brewed by Capital Brewery
Style: Wheat Ale
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Pours a well-hazed golden/tan with a creamy yet sudsy head that is just off-white and leaves a trail of wet lace. Aroma shows notes of soap under husky roasts. Head quaffs like Golden Grahams. Light flavors of honey and lemon to a hearty wheat base. Rather thick in the mouth... too much so to be "refreshing" as described. Flavor hangs with a dry sourness. All that said, it was still enjoyable.

hazy straw color tiny white head. aroma is nearly non existant lightly wheat and malt I guess. Palate is fairly well coated but light. Flavor is tiny bits of wheat & carmel. A decent brew but very basic.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow hue topped by a small lasting frothy head and good lace. The nose detected a weak wheat and sweet malt vapor along with some bubblegum and tempered lemon zest. The taste is quite bland, with all the usual flaws of most American Wheat beers. Worse yet is there is a band-aid off-flavor which ruined any hope for the brew. The feel is equally boring, it watery and is not even lively or spritzy. Arggh, I hope for better.

12 oz. Bottle. Hazy yellow body with white head filled the Island Wheat pint glass bought from the gift shop at Brewery. Aroma was of lemons and wheat grain noticable. Flavor had a zest to the lemon sweetness and malt for a medium bodied brew. Must of had some good carbination got a big belch on the finish.

355ml bottle obtained in a trade with <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?U target=blank>OhioDad, thanks Scott. Golden yellow in colour, thin dissipating white head ring around the glass, thin lacing. The aroma is quite sweet, some wheat, lemons, grains and grass. The flavour has some sweetness (not as much as the aroma), wheaty, sticky, some grains and herbs. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, light body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a mild lingering sweetness. Not to bad, a little bit too sweet, possibly a bit boring.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and hazy golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of lemons and wheat. Tastes of wheat and lemons. Straight forward wheat beer that I found to be refreshing.

12oz bottlle-A small white head on a straw golden body with an aroma of lemon and wheat. Tastes like wheat with hints of citrus and lemon. Another american wheat.

12 oz bottle. Slightly hazed straw with a quickly gone white head. Raw dough with a bit of black pepper and faint lemon. Starts with a creamy lemon nip. Mild sour pineapple and banana. Medium light. Would like to see a little more carb.
