American India Pale Ale
American India pale ales have intense hop bitterness, flavor and
aroma with medium-high alcohol content. The style is further
characterized by fruity, floral and citrus-like American-variety hop
character. Note that “fruity, floral and citrus-like
American-variety hop character” is the perceived end, but may be a
result of the skillful use of hops of other national origins. The
use of water with high mineral content results in a crisp, dry beer.
This pale gold to deep copper-colored ale has a full, flowery hop
aroma and may have a strong hop flavor (in addition to the hop
bitterness). India pale ales possess medium maltiness and body.
Fruity-ester flavors and aromas are moderate to very strong.
Diacetyl can be absent or may be perceived at very low levels. Chill
haze is allowable at cold temperatures.
