2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
A straight forward pilsner. A clean, dry finish with some malt flavor. Not great, not bad, just average.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A - Pours hazy golden with a frothy white head. No lacing.
S - Wet grain, grassy hops, mineral yeast.
T - Noble hops combined with a honey kissed, bready malt, some lemon and wet grass, clean grain on the back half.
M - Creamy wet body turns semi-dry on the finish.
A good drinker. This isn’t breaking the mold, smooth and quite tasty.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours golden with a bit of head. Aroma doesn’t have too much going. A bit of hay and overall floral tones. Flavor isn’t dense but very refreshing. A bit coarse hoppy finish but not overpowering. Very refreshing sessionable beer
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12oz bottle pours a clear golden/yellow with a small white head. Aroma of grassy hops, yeast, and a bready malt. Taste has a solid malt presence with bread and slight hops. Very clean and refreshing, not overly flavorful but an enjoyable Pils.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Aroma of hay, light/moderate noble hops and very light pear. Appearance is lightly carbonated gold with nearly no head. Flavor of hay up front, light sweetness, and a light/moderate noble hop presence, leading to a dry finish. Palate is bubbly and fairly still. Solid.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear light gold,some froth.
Aroma is grainy,lightly sweet,maybe a bit a dyacytal.
Taste is smooth,buttery slick,light sweet,citrus,crisp mild citrus finish.Some mineraliness. Pretty standard,good.Mild earthy grassiness.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
As pilsners go, this ain’t bad at all. Pours clear golden with small white head. Bitter Euro-centric hops on the nose, some lemongrass, and just plain old grass. A bit of earthy funk on the tongue, bready, filling texture. Actually one of the better Capital beers I’ve had.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dirty golden amber with a quick to dissipate head and light dots of lace. A nice balance between malt and hops, neither very strong, but adequate for a conventional pilsner. There are other, better Capital offerings, but this is fine as an unoffensive flagship brew.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
As far as straight up pilsners go, this is pretty good. Simple, refreshing, and nice.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle poured into a shaker. A "born on" date of the 316th day of 2008...a tad bit old maybe? Pours a lightly cloudy dehydrated-piss gold with about a finger of bright white head. Aroma of green apple, a little corn and some cereal grains. Taste is light bitter and light sour. Apple, corn, grain and a little skunk. Light bodied with a thin texture. Very soft carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad, especially for a beer that’s past its prime by about 3 years. I’d like to try it fresh some time.
