Capital Wild Rice

Brewed by Capital Brewery
Style: Specialty Grain
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Noogfest Small creamy head on a medium yellow beer. Light malt aroma. No real strong stand out aromas or flavors for this one other than some light spicyness.

Bottle. Clear brass body under a thick foamy white head. Sweet bubblegum / almond shell aroma with a light dustiness. Reminds me of their Kloster Weizen. A pepper spice starts the flavor with wheat and nuts following. The spice is again evident in the finish along with some murky noble-ish hops. Now that I think about it the spice is from the heavy carbonation, it’s been a while since I’ve had a beer with this much fizz. This beer drinks a lot like a macro; fizzy with old-tasting hops.

sampled at the 05 Noog fest. This was a plain, simple brew that just didn’t have much going for it. I tasted no wild rice or nuttiness

this was not good at all, i wonder if something was up with the bottle as i see its a 3.5 but i could barely drink it. really skunky, it was really alot like old style, but flatter.

Bottle. Copper gold and clear. Aroma is odd. I guess it was wild rice, with some seemingly woody hops. Flavor was a bit malty with more rice-type notes. A bit bitter, and did not finish well for me. This is not a beer for me.

Clear, reddish gold, no head. Kind of a vegetable aroma mixed with a toasty malt. Nice dryish hop flavor throughout with notes of rye, and a slightly tart finish. Very smooth.

This one would be a decent session beer. A dark yellow appearance. The flavor has a strong orange juice presence with a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Hey, Uncle Ben’s instant wild rice! And that’s pretty much all I smell! Whee! Clear gold-copper hue with a white, foamy head. Lightly sweet flavor becomes a lightly sweet, lightly acidic finish. Medium-light body, creamy texture, moderate carbonation. The bottom line is: fascinating that such a light beer could come off so smooth!
