JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 12, 2005
Dark golden color with a hint of orange. Moderate head of white bubbles. Mild malt and touch of light fruit. Full palate, nearly to thick. Mild fruit and pale malts. A quite malty cream. Quite unremarkable, but really no faults.

On tap at Capital. Clear. Smells like urine. Tastes yeasty, light, and fizzy. Tastes like a macro pale lager. I think I’d fail a blind taste test of this with Miller Lite.

On tap at the UW Union. Nice pleasant extremely quaffable beer. Nice foamy white head lacing throughout the session. Big mouthfeel, nice wheaty flavors and aromas. Definitely worth trying if you are in the area. Also availible at the Capital brewery tap room.

On tap at the Rathskeller (UW’s Memorial Union, Madison). Dark orange color with a thin head. Aroma of dried fruit. Malty taste with a light fruit touch. A bit on the dry side. Oddly thick for a lager. Much better than I was anticipating.

On tap in bier garden. Plastic cup. Pours a nice frothy white head that held up well and left some lacework. A light amber color (like no other cream ale I’ve had) with a malt nose. Creamy yes, but also malty like their lagers. Slight bitterness. Really close to the amber, but nice estery nose and palate to distinguish it. Highly quaffable, like all their beers.
