I honestly can’t decide how I feel about Pete’s Wicked Rally Cap Ale. One sip and I think it’s great; another, and I think, “Meh.” I am confused, and I don’t like it when beer confuses me.

This American blonde ale, which is 5 percent alcohol by volume and brewed by Pete’s Brewing Co. in San Antonio, is just OK. It’s a summer seasonal beer with a hint of lemon, and not much other flavor. It’s also fairly light-bodied and not very carbonated.

This beer is decent – I’ve had worse – and I’m sure I could drink several, as it seems to be the kind of beer you could chug easily after a long day working outside. And perhaps that’s what the intent is. But as far as the taste goes, I’m not sure if I’d want to.

I like beer, and I want to like this beer. But it kind of reminds me of my college boyfriend in the sense that perhaps, while it has good qualities, we’re just not quite right for each other.
