Aroma: Toasted malt bill with hints of crystal and even minute undertone of roasted malt. Clean scent. Nutty and even hints of bittersweet chocolate are present, but very minimally. Definitely a clean lager smell about this beer.
Taste: Very light foretaste sweetness. Much of the flavor is in the second half when the noble hops come in with a drying, faint floral bitterness. To complement this, a roasted grain flavor emerges, paralleled by chocolate. A nutty sweetness provides the foundation for these flavors, acknowledgeable once the beer warms up. Overall this beer is very clean tasting.
Mouthfeel: High carbonation, but enticingly deceptive (for those who relate dark with heavy). Bites the back of the mouth, and provides a light lagered spiked texture on the palate. Dry and extremely refreshing and drinkable.
Overall Impression: Very tasty and extremely drinkable. A beer made for all occasions. Whether it's something to bring to a dinner party, or you're still in college and you want something easy drinking but classy. Nice work, Capital.
90/100
