Dubuque Golden
Old Capitol Brew Works and Public House

A new, low hopped seasonal introduced to keep things interesting while coping with the hop shortage. It's also a good beer to give to people when they ask you which house beer tastes the most like Bud Light (which happens an awful lot).

Dark gold with a decent head. Nothing to write home about but it's not bad at all. No haze.

Smells grainy. Like Grainbelt, kind of. Only without any nodes of chemicals. A little weediness, a very small hint of American hops.

Tastes an awful lot like Shlafly's pilsener. It's a firm, wonderfully brewed *American* pilsener. The hops are light and while it's probably all-grain there's still enough of a graininess that I had to think about it for a second--there might be some adjunct, maybe, but it's in no way offputting. Overall I'd say I like the European style pils better. But that doesn't mean that this isn't an enjoyable, well-brewed beer.
