COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
One of the most unique beers brewed in the United States. A fine, almost nutty flavor complimented by a smooth hop character that combine to make excellent drinkability.

light color with a quickly vanishing head, aroma similar to a domestic light beer, drinks with a bready flavor and a bitter finish that disipates quickly, not amazing but a nice light beer

Golden color with a foamy but vanishing white head. MIld grainy aroma with a hint of hops and caramel. Flavor of rye bread and hops with a bitter finish. Interesting concept to use wild rice but this brew is still a little average.

Pours golden and clear with minimal white head, aromas are of grains and hops taste is crisp and clean I liked the idea of wild rice but bud brews with rice altough this taste much better it is still and easy drinking lager

Clear amber orange with a scant white head, a few traces of lacing. Faint grain aroma. Initially seems very dilute on flavor, but a toasted nutty or tea resin flavor develops, finishing with a bit of cider. Thin body.

On tap at the Malt House - Man...I remember when Capital used to rock. Now they’re just...boring. I’ll give the Wild Rice points for trying something new, but the execution is still...boring. It’s an amber pour with a white head that smells of sweet, syrupy fruit with a little bit of sour. At least the smell caught me off-guard a bit, but it just feels artificial. The taste is fairly sessionable with some sweet malt and a bit of hops. I have to really try to taste a bit of the wild rice, and the finish is an odd apple taste. It’s syrupy and smooth--again, too artificial tasting. So sad, Capital...I hope one day you return to awesomeness.

Thanks bro for sharing. Pours a light golden color with light whispy white head that fades quickly. Aroma is of floral hops with a pungent rice taste and musty aromas. Taste is sharp floral hops, light malt and mustard pretzels. Seriously...mustard pretzels. It’s a strange brew, not bad, but not something i’d drink again.

Pours a crisp golden color with a medium frothy white head. Aroma is light lemon, some almond nuttiness, mustard seed, and pretzels. Taste is crisp and lightly hoppy up front and then finishes like honey mustard pretzels. It is amazing how close it is to those pretzel bites. All right.......just weird.
