Description
American Pale Ale is an iconic American craft beer style that is characterized by an amber to light copper color, moderate hop bitterness and flavor, and a light to medium-bodied palate. The hop character of American Pale Ale is typically characterized by floral, fruity, and citrusy aromas and flavors. American Pale Ale often features a malt profile that is slightly sweet and light in flavor while still providing a firm malt backbone. It is traditionally brewed with American hop varieties such as Cascade, Centennial, and Amarillo, but modern American Pale Ale recipes often feature other hops from around the world. American Pale Ale is a highly drinkable and sessionable craft beer style that is perfect for any occasion.
