An amber beer with a nice lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of hops and citrus. The flavor is refreshingly hoppy, but a bit thin and the mouthfeel is a bit flat.

CAPITOL HILL: Handsome, crystal clear amber ale with a large, creamy, white head. Thick, creamy lacing. The flavor and aroma are both pretty nondescript. Very light butterscotch notes in the aroma and flavor. Well-balanced, but way too thin and watery. Medium carbonation. Crisp, lightly bitter finish.

Light copper brown colored. Flavor is full of saltine crackers, nuts, graham crackers and biscuit malts. Butter and soap hop notes as well in the nose. Brash and metallic on the tongue, thick, almost viscous, with flavors of burnt oranges and copper metal hops noticed. Had a slight infection. Sampled at Capitol City in Baltimore.

Bottle drank at Max’s in Baltimore Copper color, light head, lots of lacing. The nose of bright malty and citrusy hops. Nice and rich, not too much hops though. This is what an ESB should taste like. Finish is chewy, light toffee and cocoa, some coffee and a lingering garlic and anchovie taste (hmm, wonder why?)

Draft at Capitol City Brewing Inner Harbor. Ruby brown with a small tanned head. Nose is slightly hopped, toasty malts, burnt caramel, and some fruit. Taste is caramel, toasted malts, light citrus, pleasant hop bitterness, and dried dark fruits. Body is light-medium with mild carbonation feel. Finishes with more caramel notes, toasty malts, dark fruits, and flowery hops.
