Capital Wisconsin Amber

Brewed by Capital Brewery
Style: Vienna
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Pretty mild amber. Flavors included some light sweet malt, light caramel, and mild hop bitterness. Smooth body but not a lot of flavor overall. Decent brew but not worth a second buy.

7/14/2008: Wisconsin Amber pours a nice, orangy-amber color with a creamy, mostly lasting beige head that creates good lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lazy and contributes to smoothness and creaminess of the medium body. The aroma and flavor both have a pronounced citrus/candy orange quality. The toffee-flavored maltiness works well with the mild bitterness. Again, this is a quite impressive amber ale and better than expected. It is very different in flavor to the Keweenaw Red Jacket Amber Ale that I had just prior to cracking open this can of Capital Wisconsin Amber, but it is still just as good for different reasons. It could site down with a case of either and enjoy the beer quite thoroughly from the first can to the last!

12 fluid ounce can from buckybeer. Thanks Mark! Rating #206 for this beer...

pours a golden orange with a 11/2 finger fluffy off white head. aroma is caramel malt with a touch of hops and orange. has a light to medium body with descent lacing and great carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma, but more of a toasted malt than caramel. not bad.

Tap. Pours light amber with not much of a head. Malty and sweet aroma. very light to the palate. Hop tasste with a hint on carmalized malts. A good beer.

Pours a clear light amber with a fluffy off-white head that showed good retention and lacing. Smell is mainly sweet malts with caramel as well as the lighter yeast aroma with hints of citrus hops. The taste has a quick hop bite up front before settling into the sweet caramel malt backbone with a handful of spices complimenting the flavors. The mouthfeel was medium bodied and fairly creamy for a lager. The drinkability is fantastic on this lager and I could drink this all night. I’d say this is one of the better amber lagers I’ve tasted.

Pours amber with a very lively head. Malty/bitter earthy smell. Tastes very crisp and refreshing. Not much of a body though. Almost too bland for me. But if its hot out and your thirsty, this beats the piss outta Gatorade.

Pours clean amber/ copper, with soapy white head that falls off quickly. Aroma is pretty plain. Some soils and plant smell. Flavor is of fresh bread with notes of honey. The carbonation seems kind of high and it doesn’t seem to move around the palate much. Refreshing, but not really my style.

pours amber orange with big head,lots of bubbles that never quits.very clear see right thourgh. nose and taste of hops and mallts nice and clean refreshing you could serve this one to anyone and they would like it. easy drinking
