Way back in the day when I was in college and drinking mostly urine - Red Dog, Busch Light, Natural Light, and Milwaukee’s Best, Pete’s Wicked was pretty much the only craft beer that was even available back in the 90’s. Sentimentality for the win.

Rating this from memory for okd times sake. This was a true gateway beer for me, sad to see it not getting the love as it were. Classic roasty brown ale.

From Oct 2006
Poured from 12oz bottle a clear reddish brown with about a 1" head of foam that shrank almost immediately to a fine layer with little lacing.
The smell is pretty subtle but there *is* a caramel sweetness there.
The taste has the caramel sweetness from the malt noted in the nose but it, too, is on the subtle side. I also can just detect a bit of fruitiness but it's hard for me to identify it...maybe prune?
The finish is kind of on the cornie side... Not much really going on here for an English style Brown ale. It'll probably be a while before I buy this brew again.
