Commercial Description:
Loosely based on Vienna style, Wisconsin Amber is a rich, malty lager balanced out with mild hop bittering and enticing hop flavor. Very fulfilling. Very drinkable.

Slightly hoppy/carmel aroma. Poured a beautiful golden amber. Off-white head that mostly diminished. Light, not overpowering taste, slightly hoppy. Very creamy texture, nice, light finish, not overly carbonated, mild, not bitter.

12 oz bottle

Rich amber brown body with a thick foamy head that eventually subsided into a thin film Smells of peat moss, wheat, sour cherries and freshly cut grass wafted up from the glass. Once I was ready, I took a sip to find a mixture of sour cherries, smoke, sweetness and malt. A little on the thin side, but very smooth and drinkable. The nice dry finish leaves behind a trace of nuttiness that plays on the toungue and throat. Enjoyable and easy to drink - Capital has created another winner here.

Well, when I first took a sip of this I though "Hey, here we go." There is a good amount of malt sweetness and some citrus/pine hops. It’s amazing how good hops can be after drinking a few pilseners. Right now it’s hitting the spot so I dig it.

Bottle: Fiery amber, clear, moderate to small off-white sudsy head, spotty lacing, very light carbonation.   Rich malty nose, very subtle pale fruit skin.   Much the same on the tongue.   Clean, but flavor drops off quickly.   Soft for a Vienna.   Body and mouthfeel, while average, border on the watery side.   Light malt character on the finish.   Semi-sweet as well.   Clean, decent, but too light of an example.

Just as amber as all git out. Can’t git no amberer. Nice foamy head. Aroma of caramel and maybe a whiff of iced tea. Rich & smoooove. Mostly sweet, with a note of black pepper.

On tap at Johnny’s Hall of Fame Sports Bar during the 2006 Crescent Moon Beer Bus Trip. Benchmark amber color with a significant white head. Citrus Malt aroma. Buttery, yet very smooth with a medium palate. If this were my hometown local bottled beer, I would drink it as often as I did Gerst in Nashvegas.

Pours a nice amber color. Nice sweet malt nose with a hint of hops. Taste is caramel, with mild hops and a touch of fruit.

Pretty user friendly beer. Your basic amber, a little bit more grainy than the average of the variety.. easily obtainable in the state, especially in the milwaukee area. personally i enjoyed it on tap at Pizza Shuttle on Milwaukee’s east side. Nice aroma, clean finish. Highly reccomended for fans of the variety.
