Eh...this doesn't seem like a pale ale very much at all to me. It is not bitter in the least, no bite, and it's a bit fruity.
What makes a pale ale a pale ale? Let's say, American pale ale, in this case.
Pale ales can be:
English ordinary bitter
English (best) special bitter
English pale ale
California common/steam beer
English light mild
Kölsch
English strong (extra special) bitter
India Pale Ale
American Pale Ale
English old/strong ale
Belgian pale ale
As you can see "pale ale" is a very wide definition, you need to go more into specific sub styles to get a narrower definition.
But not even then is it very obvious what a beer should be like, you can only set the boundaries and then decide whether a beer fits into that style or not.
An American Pale Ala (APA) is usually fruity, unmistakable (heavy) scent and taste of specifically American hop varieties.
Medium body, golden to copper color, 4.4 to 5.9% ABV, not very bitter but you can sense it for sure.
The style APA is fairly new, it can not count as a "classic" beer style just yet.
It didn't exist before 1979 at least.

It's not the one I use, but I guess you'll be able to understand that one better than my Swedish one
*head explodes*
The IBU's - is that rated on a scale of 0-100?
I think in order to understand that form I need to learn what hops are/taste like, what maltiness is, etc. I have much to learn in the ways of the brew..
