American Pale Ale : Beer Glossary-Episode#01

A simple and short explanation of different beer styles. In this episode, we describe the characteristics of American Pale Ale.

American pale ale (APA) is a style of pale ale developed in the United States around 1980. They are generally around 5% ABV with significant quantities of American hops, typically Cascade. Although American brewed beers tend to use a cleaner yeast, and American two row malt, it is particularly the American hops that distinguish an APA from British or European pale ales. The style is close to the American India Pale Ale (IPA) and the amber ale.
