3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Summertime. Summer beer. The back porch. 87 degrees and humid. Sitting in front of me is a pale yellow leaning toward copper beer that poured and tasted heavier than expected — nuts, grain and a touch of sweetness. Light on the aroma. Nice carbonation with each sip which fits well with 87 degrees and humid.

Wisconsin rating #100 (out of 1462)Capital always advertises as brewing German style beers. I’m not sure which one includes wild rice... but I guess that’s why we have it listed as a"Spice/Herb/Vegetable" beer. It’s the color of a dull penny with a white halo in lieu of a head. It’s got a nutty, mildly sweet malt aroma. Nice and spritzy in the mouth, the flavor is a puzzlement. It’s nutty & malty with a bit of apple/pear fruitiness and a shaking of pepper. The herbal hop flavor, only mildly bitter, finally comes out in the finish. I’ve tried it, and that’s enough for me. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Light clear copper, thin soapy head. Aroma has fruity malt, Capital german malt and hops. Grainy german rice and smooth hops blended in. Not bad.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a medium gold yellow color, small fizzy white head. Starchy aroma, probably the rice. Floral and spicy hop flavors complements muted malt and a starchy, slightly husky character. Finish is crisp and unexciting. Mouthfeel is light and smooth.

Bizarre. FIzzy and watery, not particulary flavorful. What is this exactly? Capital generally does great things, but I’m not impressed with this one.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Earthy, crystal malty, noble hoppy aroma, light amber with a nice slightly sticky head. Plenty of flavor, slightly husky, nutty. Very pleasant and well made.

12 oz bottle. Tasted from the fridge at 37° in my NB worthy glass. Thanks to Heemer77 for this rare beer. The beer is golden orange with a smallish off white head. The aroma is crisp, strawlike, with a bit of character. The tasty is nutty, at first, the mid taste is malt, then come the hops with a mild, brief bitterness, and a nutty, wild rice flavor finishes it out. The mouthfeel is pretty good.

Pale yellow pour with a healthy ivory head. The aroma is malty and crisp - noting bread, toasted almond, vegetable and some earthiness. This brew is surprisingly full bodied, rounded and complex. Fresh baked bread and sweet malt blend nicely and leave a clean finish.
