Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Stein

Poured an amber hued golden with a foamy white head that settled into thin cake-like lacing, small amount of ringed sticking. Has a aroma of hops, a very subtle banana with a light touch of caramel. Taste was a balance of mild spice, a light fruitiness and crisp marzen malts with a medium body, good carbonation. A very nice offering from Capital, very drinkable and a good spring/summer marzen beer to share with friends.

Grainy, malty, watery, acidic mineral note. semi sweet blandness. aftertaste doesn’t work. I thought this style would be sweet spot of this brewery but they blew this. Big step down from cap’s special pils or munich dark

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one from his west coast connection. Pours copper\golden with a decent size off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, hops, and grain. The flavor is smooth, sweet, with a slight bitter finish. Not a bad brew.

in bottle. dark gold with medium white head that disappears quickly. Grainy acrid aroma. candy-like sweetness with a watery finish. thin fizzy palate that whimpers away.

12oz bottle pours a dark copper with a head that fades to a thin ring. A few small but nice aromas come out, nutmeg, bread, and malt. It has a light body with a slight creaminess to it. The flavor is mostly amber malt and a little bready with a slightly bitter finish.

Clear gold body that fails to prevent the average sized head from collapsing prematurely. Very little aroma. Malty flavor with a touch of hop bitterness. Low carbonation and light body make this an easy drinker.

Bottle. Aroma has a malt sweet fruit aroma. Golden body with white head. Body flavor is mainly medium sweet malt blend. Some fruit in flavor but hard to dintingish what maybe oranges. Medium sweet palate. Beer had a complexity to it, intriging.

Very pleasant aroma, somewhat wheat-like. Appears reddish-amber, very little carbonation. The flavor is weaker than I was expecting, but the palate is very smooth. Overall, a good beer, but not an excellent one.
