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.

Clear golden color with a big white head. Malt aroma. There was some hop flavor. Pretty close to water.

When poured into my glass, the head was small in size with a white hue and it consisted of fine-small bubbles that quickly dissipated. The body was carbonated and hazy with a yellow-gold hue. The nose was malty, sweet, and fruity. The flavor was sweet and fruity tasting wtih a smooth, thin, watery texture and it was light bodied. Not a beer that I particulary cared for by this brewer.

This brew poured a medium sized head of fine to large sized white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing and a carbonated straw yellow colored body. The aroma was a very nice very of the standard malt hop nose. Its mouthfeel was smooth and mildly crisp. The flavor contained elements of malt, hops, wheat and barley.

Amber in color with a small fizzy head. Aroma is sweet with hop notes. Flavor is bland but unofensive. Not bad

This is the MG of capital brewery...just an average beer. If you have the choice between a 6er of this and a 12er of Jacobs Best Light, go with the JBL.

Lasting white head over a golden body. Aromas are of grainy malt and a light corn, but I'm hoping it's the use of corn instead of DMS; Also a light hop aroma, otherwise it's got a pretty clean overall aroma as a pre prohibition pilsner should. Very well balanced but has a little hop flavor toward the finish; starts out slightly malty but quickly turns dry but not bitter. Ther is a little hop flavor in the aftertaste along with the same corn flavor, but it's very subtle, yet noticeable. Higher carbonation and slightly heavier than light m/f add to the enjoyment. This is very much more flavorful than your typical American style pilsner and I think they've done a pretty good job with a somewhat defunct style. Thankfully some breweries haven't forgotten how American Pilsners should be made. For what it's worth, this is a very good beer. Not a lot of complexity, but very drinkable in most circumstances.

Jedsbrew (465) - Rhineland, Missouri, USA - AUG 31, 2003
Golden color with minimal head and some lacing. Malty aroma and fruity, like apricot. Sweet and malty flavor, citrusy with a hint of hops. Short dryish finish.

Clear amber, small white head. Slightly malty, medium sweet nose with a kiss of hops. Light flavor, malt dominated, hint of bitterness. Reasonably full mouthfeel.
