An authentic German style pilsner, this is Capital's largest selling beer. A superbly balanced beer, with a firm maltiness alongside hearty hop bittering and flavor notes.

Thanks to the bro for this one. Pours a clean and crisp pale yellow with a medium frothy white head that fades quickly. The head resurrects itself after every pull you take - nice! Aroma is slightly skunky, grainy, with bits of fruit like pear and lime. Taste up front is crisp, grainy, and slightly bitter, with a slight sweet and fruity finish. I’m not a big fan of Pilseners but this is the best one I’ve had, and can see myself sucking some down after a hot day.

I’ve had this several times at the brewery and in bottles, brewery is where it has tasted the best. Pours a light golden colour, small white head. Aroma is particuarly grainy, lightly hopped and a little pear. Taste is lighter, but satisfying, nothing overly exciting about this one.

12oz, twist-off bottle, Red label. Light haze. Bright yellow, thin white head. Musty basement smell, spicy hop aroma, and breadiness. Flavor of moldy lemons and some bread. Finishes with a spicy hop flavor and some yeasty mustiness.

Capital night at Three Cellars Milwaukee. Just your basic drinking pilsner. Good but nothing great. The most average beer in Capitals stable.

Hazy golden yellow. Light grassy aroma with a hint of sweetness to it. A little thin but decently balanced with a mild bitter finish.

Pour is light golden with finger white head. Aroma is light hop. Taste is slightly bitter with a bit of a bite. Decent but not special. Probably won’t buy again.
