American pale ale (APA beer) is a delicious, refreshing and well-balanced American beer style. Inspired by its counterpart from across the pond the English pale ale, what originally set these two styles apart was American pale ale's usage of indigenous hops which created a much more piney citrus flavour.
Since then it’s risen to be one of the most popular American ales styles, brought to notoriety by Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Over time many more breweries have developed their own american pale ale brands.
Boasting a medium-bodied and moderately malted backbone, the American pale ale provides a slightly less bitter flavour than the American IPA and Lower ABV (3.8%-5.5%), making it a perfect entry point for any new craft beer drinker. It's refreshing and palette-cleansing flavour makes it the ideal companion for a spicy meal or BBQ.
