Capitol City Nut Brown Ale

I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a big fan of the Capitol City Brewery and their products. At any point during the year they have a decent beer or two on the menu, but most of their products are a little on the average side. The one beer that stands above all down their is their Pumpkin Ale and I went in search of it this past week. Unfortunately it was not yet available, so I got to try their Nut Brown Ale offerings.

This beer has a hearty brown color to it with some reddish hues when held up to the light. The head on the beer was about a full finger thick and had a slightly off white color to it. The beer had a moderate nutty and malty aroma to it.

The beer drank pretty well and I thought it was one of the better brews that I have had from the Capitol City Brewing Company. When you first drink the beer it has a maltiness to it with a hint of sweetness. There's definitely a hint of roasted nuts in there as well. On the back end, there actually is a hint of bitterness in the aftertaste. I thought it was pretty well balanced and enjoyable. I'll definitely try this one again if I'm back down at the Capitol City Brewing Company.

Draught at Capitol City, Capitol Hill DC. Reddish brown in color. Nutty aroma. Medium bodied. Flavour is nutty and malty. Not bad but a bit on the bland side.

red-brown colour, nut aroma, roasted nutty finish, too much carbonation
