American Pale Ale
American pale ales range from deep golden to copper in color. The style is
characterized by fruity, floral and citrus-like American-variety hop character
producing high hop bitterness, flavor, and aroma. Note that “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. American pale ales
have medium body and low to medium maltiness. Low caramel character is
allowable. Fruity-ester flavor and aroma should be moderate to strong. Diacetyl
should be absent or present at very low levels. Chill haze is allowable at cold
temperatures.
