At Capital Ale House, Innsbrook. Apparently I got the last of what was in the tap, so I’m not sure if this accurately depicts the beverage I drank or not. Overall it was a decent American wheat beer. Clove, and lemon was mellow, and unfortunately the slice of lemon they served with it overpowered the brew itself. It was a mostly clear amber color, with just a little haziness to it. I’ll probably have to try it again when it is in better supply.
