Pete’s Wicked Strawberry Blonde is a unique beer experience. Our light, golden lager is made with the finest pale and wheat malts, Cluster hops and a kiss of natural strawberry flavor.

This beer tastes like nothing except for a little bit of strawberries and a little bit of beer. Little is the key here, because this beer is most certainly a little beer, which can probably be passed up by most drinkers of the beers.

Pete’s wicked strawberry wheat. 12 0z brown bottle. This is going to hafta be some beer if its going to beat Lancaster strawberry wheat. Smells like any other beer, yeasty and beery. Looks like a slightly darker ubiquitous yellow american lager. Slight head that fades rapidly to a rim of thin white. I do not taste much, if any strawberry in there. This is more like a regular beer. If there is any fruit flavor, it is barely noticeable. Not offensive and pretty enjoyable. This is not as good as lancasters but it is much better than many fruit beers I’ve had such as abita purple and Michigan Brewing Celis Raspberry. Finish is not very bitter if at all. The linger is more like a well behaved lager. Quite acceptable as an interesting brew but it is not real unique.

12 oz. bottle at Claim Jumper, Lombard, IL. Last time I had this was when Pete was still in charge. Didn’t think much of it then, either. Smell of Strawberry Fanta. Pour dark gold with a tinge of pink. Taste is overloaded with strawberry, vs. a weak lager background. No real hops or malts to speak of, just a lite beer texture with strawberry jam on top. Barely okay as a girlfriend beer, but I can see why strawberry is not a first choice for fruit beer. Gassy finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, fully golden with a creamy, white head. Distinct aroma of strawberry. Rather light - perhaps even watery - body. Very pronounced strawberry flavours, but no real sweetness or bitterness. Bland. 010406

Transparent amber gold with a tiny white head. Malty aroma with a bit of strawberry. Dry malt flavor with a little bit of strawberry. Not nearly as good strawberry flavor and aroma as the Belmont Strawberry Blonde.

bottle - aroma is light with a hint of citrus. Thin head, rapidly fading. This just tastes like yet another too thin pale lager, but they added a hint of strawberry to it. I suppose it helped a little, but not enough to make this beer worthwhile.

I like some of FX Matt’s beers quite a bit but am not a big fan of the Pete’s Wicked line. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a light copper color with a trace of a white head that faded quickly. The aroma is light sour malts and an odd strawberry scent. The flavor is moderate strawberry and crappy lager. Really this is just a basic beer with some strawberry added. Thankfully the strawberry was less artificial than I expected and for a fruit beer it was not overly sweet.
