On tap at the Gun Club Restaurant in Beloit. Pours a hazy amber color with a meduim off white head. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts. Tastes of toffee, roasted malts, nuts, and a slight hint ofhops. Not bad but nothing spectacular either.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light amber color. Light malty aroma, almost fruity. Unobtrusive grassy, almond flavor, spicy as it goes down. My first experience with a Capital Brewery Seasonal.

I love winter seasonals, but this doesnt measure up in my book. Not quite as smooth as I was expecting - although still quite smooth. Could use a little more spiciness, but maybe thats not the goal here. I think for winter beers I like it when the brewer goes all out.

Found this one bottled in Camp Lake, Wisconsin. Clear, deep reddish amber pour, with a filmy white head, faint sweetness in the nose, a bit of carmel and candied apple, malty and a strong finish.

I’m so special that I got Sahar’s liquors around the corner to order this up. I really didn’t expect them to but I was delightfully surprised. Smooth, very understated malt flavor, minor hop bitterness.

12oz. bottle. Burnt orange in color. The nose displays roasted malt, with a touch of almond, and hops. The palate is soft, yet refined for a vienna. The flavor starts with a touch of malt, followed by lemon-grass, and hop bitterness. Fairly decent, but not too complicated or complex.

Bottle drunk 5/30. Hazy light brown/orange color with creamy tan head.Light roasted malt aroma. The flavor was the same with mild nuttiness and sweet in the finish. Smooth.

So this is a Vienna? It tastes like Capital’s Oktoberfest Marzen with a little more roasting of the barley before brewing. Nice amber color with a lacy head, and decent flavor.
