2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark amber-brown with thin head. Carmel malts and berry aroma notes. Carmel, berries, and mild hop balance. Smooth with mild bitter finish.

OK; pours red brown with scant head. No real smell accents; taste smooth and malty (for an ale). Finish clean but unremarkable; nothing much more than a conventional mass market product here.

I agree with Maddog...Pete’s was a great beer back in the day, but now it is average when compared with the new micro and craft brews..

This is a sweet beer, with a great appearance, nice head, and decent aroma. I liked the beer, but couldn’t drink more than 1-2 a night.

Back in the early to mid 90’s, this beer was quite a find. I was in the Army stationed in the south, you know, that whole section of our country that has nothing but Crap Light and/or Lonestar. It was big, malty and hoppy. Today, it is without anything that would make this a good beer. To put it mildly, this beer thrills me like kissing my sister. The color is a deep amber, brown, whatever that is worth. There is no presence of hops which for the style is not that surprising, but my God, have something worthwhile. I will admit that this brew is balanced.....like a teeter totter with no one on either end.

To use a metaphor this beer is the high school cheerleader in any teen movie. Beautiful to look at but not much going on inside. Aroma was so so. Mostly iced tea and a hint of hops. Pour was absolutely beautiful. A nice burnt amber with a 2 finger tan head. Taste was a iced tea with a hint of caramel malt and a hoppy bite for an aftertaste. I’ve had this a million times and just got to rating it. It was better than I thought.

Bottle poured a pretty light amber color. no head. The nose on this was delightful. Sweet caramel and malts. My favs! The flavor was very light caramel malts with a tinge of hops on the finish. A bit watery mid way through the swallow. Otherwise, a fairly drinkable beer, just not outstanding.

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2008 This was pretty good...Ruby/Brown, beige head, I can appreciate the quality of this beer. Strong hop flavor and bitterness, nice maltiness, nice head retention.
