American Pale Ale

American Pale Ales are light in color, ranging from golden to a light copper color. The style of this beer is typically defined by a balance between pale malts and hop presence - although without the hop intensity or alcohol strength of an IPA. American Pale Ales generally range in strength from c. 4.5% to 6.5% (although there are examples outside of this range). This is a perfect beer for big fare like grilled burgers or combination pizzas, as well as lighter fare like sushi and green salads.
