JYMI SAY’S…

Cali Pale ya say…

Well, it’s a pretty cool name I’m liking the colours of the tin art. However, much like the beer itself, there is nothing much to get overly excited about here.

When it comes to Tiny Rebel’s supermarket offerings (with the exception of 505) I’ve come to realise that they’re all pretty nice but also all kinda fall into the average beer bracket. So it was no surprise that my notes from testing Cali Pale went something like this…

Nice look in glass, if a little thin.

Nice enough but kinda is what it is.

To call it thin would be wrong but it is lacking a little in body.

Bright citrus nose but nothing to write home about.

See, average…

However, for the price, these brews are a great little fridge filler, and that’s precisely what Cali Pale is… a fridge filler.

SAMMY SAY’S…

Verse 1:
Sippin’ on the Cali Pale, it’s got a vibe that’s kinda pale ale,
Nose hits light, but nothing new, just a breeze that’s blowin’ through,
Taste rides in, all laid back, but it’s missing some attack,
Thin and smooth, it’s tryin’ to be, refreshing like the summer sea.

Chorus:
Cali Pale, you’re just alright,
Not too weak, not much style,
You aim to please, but don’t ignite,
You’re sittin’ in the middle of the pile.

Verse 2:
In the glass, you look so fine,
But your packaging ain’t divine,
Info’s light, name’s just okay,
Not much here that’s gonna stay.

Bridge:
You do your job, you play it safe,
But you never really chase,
Any high, any thrill, just a ride that’s kinda still.

Chorus:
Cali Pale, you’re just alright,
Not too weak, not much style,
You aim to please, but don’t ignite,
You’re sittin’ in the middle of the pile.

Outro:
Average brew in every way,
You’re the beer for an average day,
Cali Pale, you came to play,
But you didn’t make me wanna stay.
