Petes Wicked Rally Cap Ale

Petes Brewing Company
Brewed at Matt Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
San Antonio, Texas USA

12 oz bottle. Nice golden hue with little to no head and high carbonation. Aroma has hints of lemon and carmel malts. You can taste the citrus and a mild sweetness of carmel with grassy notes. Slight metallic aftertaste with little to no bitter lingerness. Not a bad lawnmower beer, I was expecting worse.

Bottle. Pours amber with a fizzy white head, nice color. However, this is very translucent and has very little carbonation bubbles. Aroma of lemon and pale malts, but not agressive. Texture is a tad watery, but very fizzy. Flavor of lemon, wheat malt, caramel. This is followed my a mild spicy bitter finish. Not offensive by any means, and one of the better Pete’s beers. I like that the lemon is an accent and is not overdone. This has potential to be much better though.

Poured an amber orange color small head. Aroma was of caramel and some hops. Flavor was caramel malts bitter hops. Way different then other blonde ales i have had.

(Bottle) Pours golden with little head. Light and grassy tasting. Some citrus as well, but not as much as advertised on the bottle. Aftertaste is stange - some bittersweet notes.

Bottle, from my friend Dave last summer. This is a light decent brew with not much head, lots of carb and a little citrus taste mixed with what seems more like a lager than an ale. It’s good, crisp and light.

A good solid thirst quencher here. Like some other reviewers, I too thought that this would be good while watching baseball on the tube on a Sunday afternoon, so I thought what better time. Finished mowing the lawn, cracked open a cold one and sat on the couch just in time for first pitch. The first thing that I noticed was how smooth it was. Aroma was slightly malty, a little grainy but nothing more unfortunately. Appearance was a nice golden color. Mouthfeel was light and slightly carbonated. Flavors are slightly grassy, a little on the sweet side with a lemony zing to brighten it up a bit. Not enough so that it makes it undrinkable, but just a nice touch. Nothing wrong with this beer. It will be a pleasure to finish off the other 5.

Flavor starts out sweet. Sweet taste tends to linger which is good. Citrus like aroma but not like a IPA.

Average summer beer. Refreshing taste on a warm afternoon. I agree with others, it did pour darker than I expected, but did good down easy like a summer beer should.
