A highly diverse category of British ale varieties that have been rejuvenated in American microbreweries. The category includes beers that can be pale, light and mild or very malty with a high alcohol level, robust and bitter. It is hard to define particular taste characteristics, since there is so much variety, but in general, the American style is usually more bitter, with a more prominent taste and aroma of hops.

Cream Ale

Cream Ale originated in the United States in the 18th century. Beers in this category are fermented at high temperatures and although they are called “ale”, producers may use either ale-yeast or lager-yeast. Cream Ales are rather pale colored with light consistency as corn or rice are often used to lighten the density. Bitterness is generally low, although quite bitter varieties are not unheard of. Light, fruity tones from the fermentation usually characterise these beers to a certain degree.
