COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
After researching brewing styles from the turn of the last century, Capital has created an outstanding, mild, American-style beer. This pilsner beer comes from an old Wisconsin recipe, circa 1900, and has a smoothness that the big beer companies will envy.

transparent light golden color with white head quickly fading...smells malty with a hint of bananna, malt smell comes through in the flavor with very little hop taste...dry finish...quite drinkable.

This was a nice smooth beer. just the right amount of head. The flavor was a bit to weak.

Nexxus (261) - Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA - JAN 16, 2004
UPDATED: APR 19, 2004 Clear light amber with a thick diminishing white head. A nice citrus floral aroma with honey, light bread, vanilla, and a hint of spice. Light body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Very smooth light flavor with dough, pepper, citrus, apricot and honey. Very drinkable. Surprisingly good, I usually don't like pilsners much.

This is decent. Slightly floral in aroma and taste. Creamy palate. Smooth. Not terribly compelling otherwise though.

heemer77 (4754) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - DEC 29, 2003
Beautiful light amber color. Nice caramel and honey aroma. Hint of wheat in the flavor. Finishes fairly smooth, but has a little bit of grainy aftertaste. Very little white head. Decent full mouth feel.

A white foamy head on a golden color brew. Slight aroma, not too distinct but there.

Slightly skunked, but otherwise not a bad pilsener. Maybe I'll find a fresh bottle to compare someday.

Golden color, slight malty caramel in the nose. Smooth drinking with a peppery dry hop finish.
