Petes Wicked Ale

Bottle. Nota bad brew to drink with more malts than hops. Sweet and simple.

Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a red-brown body topped with a white head of foam. Aroma was very weak, though had some malt notes. This was a watery ale, with crisp carbonation and a tart-sweet taste. The palate was not complex, leaning toward the malts. The ease of drinking this ale, combined with it sweet-tart flavor made this simple ale a passable drinking experience.

Fiery red, mahogany color, distinct, luminescent and attractive, quite inviting and very deep. The smell is very malty and sweet- caramel, butter toffee and oats, balanced by a gentle bite of spicy, floral, leafy green American hops. The taste is very subdued and not ultra-complex, but is sweet and caramelly, much like an amber ale. Light molasses and rich toasty malts massage the mouth with loads of carbonation in-hand, and the hops that made an impact in the aroma are nowhere to be found in the taste. Nonetheless, this brew has a nice, crisp, lively and sensuous body, and makes for an easy drinking, yet fun and energetic ale.

Dark amber/brown with hints of ruby. Generous creamy head. I wasn’t expecting such a robust appearance but im not complaining there. Lots of caramelized, sweet malts with a touch of hops. Not quite as much of the roasted or nutty characters that many browns have though. Overall, a pretty good beer, worth a try.

Deep brown color, with rich ruby undertones. Full creamy head, a visually better looking beer then I had expected. Some sweet malt in the nose, but misses some of the nutty and sugary aromas of browns I have enjoyed. Finishes a little fast and somewhat hoppy.
