Capital Oktoberfest

Capital Oktoberfest Marzen Style Lager. Capital Brewery, Middleton, Wisconsin. 5.5% aBV.

I first took notes on this one back in December of 2002, nearly 13 years ago. Did my old notes tell the tale? Let's look back and see.


Off-white head, gone quickly. Amber/caramel color.

Aroma: vegetal, herbal, spicy, earthy, pumpkins.

Rich maltiness, nice sweet overtones, some tingly hops. A satisfactory Oktoberfest, very smooth and easy-drinking.

I did them short, sweet and to the point back then. Pumpkins, though? What was I thinking? Let's open a bottle and revisit it.

Hmm. Yeah, wouldn't change a word. Maybe throw in a few others. And I could see where I got the pumpkin from, but I wouldn't say it again.
