Pale Ale

Launched September 2021 to replace the 4.5% Planet Pale with a new recipe using more sustainable ingredients - the hop mix has changed.

Planet Pale is our new Headliner range 4.3% session-strength pale ale. This quaffable creation is laced with Columbus, Chinook and Citra hops for a sharp citrus aroma and piney notes that give way to mellow tropical fruits.

3.4 --Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Hazy golden, small head. Rich citrus aroma. Dry with light body and clean, crisp mouthfeel. Citrus and starfruit on crisp, neutral malt. Mid bitter finish.
3.7 Pajiza turbia de abundante espuma jabonosa. Intenso aroma a fruta tropical, mango, mandarina. En boca es muy ligera, superbebible, aunque algo subida de gas. Muy lupulada en boca, menos tropical y mas citrica, pomelo.
3.0 Im marginal getrübten Hellgold und mit kurzlebiger Schäumung macht mir das Brewdog Planet, ein mit gerade mal 4,3 % ausgestattetes Pale Ale, seine Aufwartung. Einzig Limette und Zitrone bestimmen die Duftprobe. Dünnmalzig, spritzig und feinwürzig-trocken steigt mein heutiger äußerst leichtfüßiger Testkandidat beherzt ein. Die Spritzigkeit liegt im sortenüblich normalen Bereich, für Süffigkeit ist gesorgt. Im Abgang tendieren die Zitrusnoten in Richtung Limette, welche neben neben etwas Kreide und gekochtem Gemüse auch den feinbitteren Nachgang dominieren. Mit dem Planet bricht Brewdog zwar nicht in neue Galaxien auf, aber für lediglich 4,3 % handelt es sich dennoch um eine bemerkenswerte Leistung.
3.6 Giallo paglierino, velata, ampia schiuma. Aromi fruttati (albicocca, ananas) e leggero agrumato. Corpo e carbonazione medi, in bocca tende all’amaro, con il luppolato che prevale. Lascia un gusto da cerale sul palato. Beverina
3.0 Bouteille 33cl couleur blonde dorée mousse blanche goût clémentine, citron, agrumes et amertume en fin de bouche
2.2 Aroma of citrus, pomelo & clementine peel. Clear pale golden with a low but very long lasting white head. Medium bitter very quickly disappearing taste. Light body, thin texture & average carbonation.
3.3 Can from M&D (who got it from Morrisons) - cheers! Clear gold with a light fizz & a white head. Nice tropical aroma. Taste is a bit more citrus-based, but the mouthfeel is a bit watery. Drying, moderately bitter finish. Quite drinkable, and pleasant enough if a little thin.
3.7 Servida en pinta, color dorado pálido algo nebuloso con espuma blanca de escasa retención. Aroma bastante agradable a cereales, cítricos, pino y hierba. En boca es de cuerpo ligero, fresca, cítrica y herbal, con ligeras notas tropicales y resinosas. Muy rica y agradable.
3.2 Svært lys gul, nesten transparent med hvitt skum. Lukter noe grapefrukt og stikkelsbær. Lett. Smaker sitrusskall og hvete. Kort.
3.5 Botella @ ROXY '63, Madrid. 03/02/2023. Color amarillo corona de espuma blanca aromas cereal, citrico sabor herbal, citrico cuerpo medio.
2.3 Can. Same design as the 4.5 but this one is 4.3 so watch out when looking up by picture. mild watery aroma with not much malts but a little hops, water melon sweetness. i've had many non-alc beers with more hoppy aroma than this. Flavor is slightly citrussy, very slightly flowery, medium pine and grapefruit, crisp but very well hidden malts. drinkable, but still, I have tasted non alc beers with more flavor power than this one. watery.. boring. good alternative to a carlsberg or tuborg or san miguel bc of the more agressive hopping, but there is so much else out there in this abv range that tastes better and does not feel as watered down. This is like the opposite of tactical nuclear penguin ;-)
3.2 Kom@t
3.4 Bottle 33cl a slightly cloudy golden beer with medium head. Nose on grass, resin and pine hop notes. Aroma on agrume juice on one side and hop resin on the other side, good body for the abv, good level of bitterness too.
3.6 Can from Yamaya. Flowery and somewhat dank aroma, grassy, and then interesting citrus and pine. Very pale hazy pastel yellow color with a quarter-finger of fluffy white foam. Mild fruitiness, stone mostly. Complex hop flavors go trough a number of palate stages.
3.0 Canned (from Zinc Vaasa). Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, fruity, some herbal and mild bready tones. Flavour is fruity, floral, some bready and mild herbal notes with some earth and grains too.
2.5 March 2023. Keg at Slug & Lettuce, Southampton. Harmless and forgettable keg lager. [2.5] Jan 2023. Small can from a BrewDog 12 Beers of Christmas pack. A lager and lime style beer. [2.5] March 2022. Keg at Slug & Lettuce, Southampton. Quite acceptable when served cold, and there's nothing else to drink. [2.6] Dec 2021. Small can from a promotional BrewDog pack bought in Tesco. A fairly ordinary lager and lime. Drinkable but unremarkable. [2.5]
3.3 Can. 4.3%. Best before 12.01.23. Pours a hazy straw yellow, with a white head. Decent lacing. Somewhat exotic fruit aroma, with an old/cheesy hops note. Flavour is pretty much the same, a bit dusty, and with a light metallic overtone. Some spicy hints as it warms. A bit dry, bitter hop finish. Overall okay, if nothing special. 16.09.22.
3.3 Cask@Soar Point, Leicester. Golden coloured beer with nice head. Hopped aroma, hopped and lemony flavour. A nice beer.
5.0 Excellente pierre de dégustation bien équilibré, petite touche d'acidité
3.0 Pours with a white, thick, pronounced top. Murky golden colour with low carbonation. Aroma is very gentle, grassy and citrus, hint of pine in the back. Taste is very fresh and lively up front, with a strongly overtaking happy/citrus taste, giving way to a dry, hoppy finish. No lasting body, just a nice kick up front and at the end of the sip.

3.6 From James
3.4 Can. A hazy pale orange colored beer with a small white head. The aroma is tropical, with passionfruit, grapefruit, green grapes, grass notes and a hint of pale malts. It's a bit thin on the palate, but easy drinkable, with a good bitterness. Quite dry. Tropical, piney and citrusy flavor with a touch of pale malts. Lasting finish. Tasteful and refreshing, but a bit dull. 221119
3.4 Can. Pale yellow, heavy carbonation, white foam. Bright citrus and lychee aroma. Medium light sparkly body. Papaya, tropical flavor, herbal bitterness, grassy retronasal. quick finish, good summer drink.
2.8 330ml can from RusBeerShop in Moscow. Pours pale yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is grapefruit, malt. Taste is light sweet and watery, citrus. Light bitter finish. Rather insipid. It could have been made by any of the major breweries.
3.0 Im Glas hellgelb mit leichter Trübung und schöner feiner Perlage. Die mittel- bis grobporige Schaumkrone hinterlässt dabei einen flaumigen und langlebigen Eindruck. Die Duftaromatik wirkt süßlich-fruchtig bis fruchtig-herb mit zarten Noten von Zitrusfrüchten, einem leicht floralen Anklang aber auch ein wenig Petersiliengrün. Auf jeden Fall sehr angenehm frisch. Der Antrunk kommt etwas dünner und wässeriger als erwartet, wirkt aber frisch, angenehm spritzig und leicht herb. Auch am Gaumen wirken die Aromen etwas verwässert, kommen aber dennoch schön zur Geltung und wirken harmonisch. Man nimmt Noten von Zitrusfrüchten, aber auch grünen, nicht ganz reifen Früchten wahr. Grasig-kräuterige Töne im Hintergrund spielen dabei gut mit. Auch wenn sich dieses Pale Ale sehr dünn und etwas anspruchslos gibt, lässt es sich hervorragend trinken. Der Nachtrunk flacht leider sehr schnell ab. Es bleibt eine zarte grasige bis kräuterartige Hopfennote über. Fazit: Vielleicht ein Pale Ale für Anfänger... oder ein Pale Ale, welches massentauglich sein will. Eher anspruchslos, aber dennoch nicht schlecht.
3.3 14-OCT-2022, can @home, from Meny. Pale golden with a lasting, slightly lacing, white head. Citrus, melon, grass. Oily, sweet, light bitter. Really easy drinking. Nothing you have to consider twice. Just drink and enjoy.
