American Strong Pale Ale

Tier C · BA American-Style Strong Pale Ale

Identify, Place, Will you like it, Order, Pair, Try and Myth

These four are here so that a name on a menu does not stop you. Nobody expects you to memorise them. Read the cards side by side first, because each of these beers is easier to hold on to when you can see what it is not. What it is, straw to gold and brilliantly clear, so it looks like a lager sitting on the bar.

Cause, Confused with, Numbers, Judge and Remember

Two questions get you there faster than the table does. Is it cloudy rules the Australian one in and the other three out. Does it smell of American hops rules the British one out. That leaves a Cold IPA and a strong pale ale, and the body decides: thin and clean is the Cold IPA, soft and rounded is the other.
