Got this while in Brazil, at a decent wine, beer, and liquor shop in the downtown area of Larajeiras, Vitoria, E.S.
Pasty white fizzy head of about a finger rises and fades semi quickly over mostly clear golden orange colored beer.
Nose has some light hops, hint of citrus and grassy hops, light malts, and a golden ale like aroma, light and crisp, with a slight cheap lager aroma too.
Taste is fairly light, very crisp and drinkable, a nice refreshing ale taste, a nice Belgian pale ale malty flavor, light Belgian yeast, some light mild grassy hops and a bit of earth, light fruits, with a slight bready malt flavor too. Finishes with some bitterness, a bit of lingering grassy hops, some light malts, and fairly dry and crisp.
Mouth is medium bodied with decent carbonation.
Drink is pretty good, sessionable, a nice dry finish, and goes down very smooth and crisp. This is the best beer so far I've had from Brazil. The nose gets a little extra loss from a light cheap lager aroma, which I'm starting to think might be the water, but otherwise I could really drink this one, even in the crazy heat down there.

350 ml bottle (exp. 08/2016) in a Leffe tulip. Great beer, specially for that price. It tastes and feel much better when warmer.

For a long time, Eisenbahn Pale Ale has been one of my first choices when I want a light, crisp beer with some flavor that's also a good value. Unfortunately, the last few bottles I've had, during late 2018 and early 2019, have suffered from a stale flavor and slightly sticky mouthfeel, in addition to an odd, vaguely minty aftertaste. For the moment, I'm not going to adjust my initial score from a few years ago, in the hopes that perhaps recent batches were affected from conditions at the brewery that will be corrected. That said, be advised that the characteristics of this beer may not be the same as the one people have rated through late 2018.
