Yesterday's sheepshead party, spilled into this morning. So I am counting my last beer of the party as today's beer. It was Weizen by Madison, WI's Capitol Brewing Company.
It is a seasonal beer, with the season being summer, so this beer was likely 6 months old. I found it refreshingly light and fruity after the dark lagers, but it was a bit sweeter than I like. Their website says "a unique yeast provides spicy bubblegum, banana, clove flavor notes." Maybe it was the bubblegum notes that pushed it into the "not a preferred beer" range. Still a 3, just a less preferred version of a favorite style of mine.
I will be having a fresher example of a Capitol beer soon when I drink a Winter Skal that I acquired in a Christmas 9 pack of winter beers.
