Pours a light gold, frothy head, light lace, and then.....
Aromas of bread and malts.... Hang on this is an APA
Taste is all dialled down, hint of APA style apricot but really comes across as a hybrid coopers Pale, golden ale and water.
Pass, entry level for the masses, this one

So this is a new one at Dan Murphy’s and they’re practically giving it away if you’re a member there: Yenda Pale Ale. What’s a Yenda? Who knows and who cares. All I care about is the “Pale Ale” bit of the label, and if this beer actually lives up to the style (though by the 4.5% ABV and the general label information with middling hop and malt intensity I for one am not holding my breath). Also of note: I did not buy this beer - it’s one of the beers my dad has in his fridge. FYI my dad thinks Becks is an awesome beer.
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a nonic pint.
A: Light amber, almost golden clear body with a massive 1 inch frothy off-white head that holds up well, ungainly as it is. Looks alright... it’s no Sierra Nevada but it does the job. 7/10.
S: The aroma is all over the shop with notes of sweet grain/caramel malts, floral hops and pineapple. This could definitely use more hops, it’s a bit of a muted aroma and for an American Pale Ale that is a cardinal sin. 5/10.
T: Caramel/toffee/grainy malts provide a decent enough sweet base, however there’s little in the way of hops to cut through it... and as expected it is a bit bland flavourwise. The hops themselves, almost non-existent as they are, provide a light floral addition and the finish is a non-descript mild bitter note. Aftertaste is a bit melony... yes I just invented a word “melony, cousin of felony”. 5/10.
M: Mid to light bodied with a light(ish) carbonation. 7/10.
D: Final verdict: Meh. Give this one a miss. It has all the characteristics of a beer my dad would tolerate but find a little hoppy for his Lager tastes. I’m actually hard-pressed to think of another Pale Ale I’ve tried recently that I have been so ambivalent about, this is like a filler beer - a beer you drink to get you tipsy eventually because you like to feel tipsy, and I moved on from those beers like a decade ago - now I fill my fridge with beers that excite me: IPAs, Belgian Tripels and Quads, Imperial Stouts, Gueuzes, Weizens and Rauchbiers - I want to sup on the nectar of the gods, none of this average macro filler crap. You have been forewarned. 5/10.
Food match: The label mentions “spicy food” yeah right, do you actually want to taste this beer at all? Probably not, but that’s beside the point, if you’re going to recommend a food pairing for this I would advise something like a chicken burger.

Pours a clear lightish golden with a small head. Has a very slight aroma of grass and fruit. Flavour wise, you get some sweet malt and a bit of fruity sweetness, with a modest bitterness at the back. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation.
