American Pale Ale

America’s spin on an English pale ale, the American pale ale is similar to its English counterpart, but differs due to a brewer’s use of American hops, malt, yeast, and water. The American pale ale will generally be cleaner and have less of a caramel malt profile, less body, and often more finishing hops. Overall, the American pale ale is refreshing and hoppy with an adequate malt base which balances the beer.
