Drakes Pete’s house ale

Brewed by Drakes Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
San Leandro, California USA

On tap exclusively at Pete’s brass rail and carwash in Danville, CA. I was told this is a pale ale/rye mix. It pours a dark amber color with a tan head. Very dark for a pale ale. Fruity, hoppy aroma and the taste is tropical with mango, papaya etc. It has a strong bitter finish but with a sugary sweet backbone throughout. Pretty unusual beer. It leaned more toward the IPA category IMO. It reminded me of Dale’s. Very good beer.
