Ale Beers are those that are produced by top-fermenting yeasts, Ale is a type of beer brewed from malted barley.

A modern ale is commonly defined by the strain of yeast used and the fermenting temperature. The important distinction for ales is that they are fermented at higher temperatures and thus ferment more quickly than lagers.

English Pale Ale

The English Pale Ale can be traced back to the city of Burton-upon-Trent, a city with an abundance of rich hard water. This hard water helps with the clarity as well as enhancing the hop bitterness. High levels of calcium found in Burton's water complement this  style well by enabling a more  efficient extraction of bitter resins from the hops.

This ale can be from golden to reddish amber in color with generally a good head retention. A mix of fruity, hoppy, earthy, buttery and malty aromas
and flavors can be found. Typically all ingredients are English.

Average alcohol by volume (abv) range: 3.8-6.0%
