- Pale ales are ales made with predominantly pale malt that is kilned at lower temperatures compared to other malts. This results in a light color and malty flavor.
- The style originated in Britain in the 16th-17th centuries as a successor to brown beers and porters. The name comes from its lighter color compared to other beers at the time.
- Hopping rates are relatively modest, providing enough bitterness to balance the maltiness without overpowering it. Popular hops include Goldings, Fuggles, Cascade.
- Alcohol content ranges from 3.5-5.5% ABV. Bitterness ratings are 20-40 IBUs typically. Color ranges from light gold to amber.
- Major pale ale styles include British bitters, American pale ales, Belgian pale ales, and German kölsch. India Pale Ales evolved from pale ales.
- British pale ales highlight the malt flavor with earthy, floral English hops. American versions focus more on citrusy American hops.
- Session pale ales are a lighter, lower-alcohol version meant for drinkability. Belgian pales feature spice and fruit esters from the yeast.
- Accessible, medium-bodied mouthfeel and balance of malt flavor, hop bitterness, and crisp drinkability make pale ales popular among beer drinkers.
- Well-known examples include Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Firestone Walker Pale 31, Deschutes Mirror Pond, and Founders Pale Ale.
