Pale and amber ales, sometimes called barley wines, use a pure barley malt. Pale ale is also known as bitter in England and Altbier in Germany. Strong pale ales are considered to be part of the pale ale family, although they have a higher alcohol content. Pale ale has a strong hoppy flavor which is distasteful to some consumers, who prefer more mild ales. The ale is usually pale in color and may have sediment when drawn on tap, because of lingering yeast.
Examples: Bass Pale Ale typifies the UK pale ale style. Worthington White Shield is a traditional India Pale Ale, also originating in Burton-upon-Trent. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale exemplifies the American Pale Ale style, making extensive use of Cascade hops.
