Pale Ale

Pale ale is perhaps the second widely most consumed beer after pilsners. Pale ales are British ales. They predate the golden pilsners. The color can range from a light straw, to golden, to copper, to amber. Pale is in comparison to the darks that ruled beer since its inception.

Pale ales are crisp, dry, and emphasize the hops over the malt. They tend to be moderately bitter, but not as bitter as the India Pale Ale or Bitter Ale. It can be a bit flowery in aroma. They work beautifully on a hot day to cut through your thirst.

The term can also be used more generically. When a British ale isn't a mild, a bitter, or an IPA, it's a pale ale.
