American Pale Ale 13°

APA, or American Pale Ale, is a style of pale top fermented beer developed in United States around 1980. It immediately became the heart and soul of American craft beer revolution and had been the top selling and most popular american craft beer for the next 30 years. Pale Ale from California brewery Sierra Nevada is the most renown example and a modern classic. In the production of this refreshing brew, relatively neutral top fermenting yeast and North American two-row barley malt is used, but what is significantly different from the British and European ales is American hops. Beside the bitterness, they lend the beer its distinct flavor of citrus, flowers or resin. Malty sweetness resembles toasted bread or biscuits and only gently complements the overall flavor of this balanced brew.
