Top 10 list of Pale Ales acquired through extensive testing at our back porch lab – includes American Pale Ale, India Pale Ale and Imperial/Double Pale Ale.
India Pale Ale: Pale Ale with more hops to help preserve the ale for the long trip to supply British troops in India.
American Pale Ale: Like the original but with more flavor and variety. Big taste and bitterness with herbal or citrus flavor.
Imperial/Double Pale Ale: Like the others but (yet) more hops, more robust, more stronger…
Updated – All contenders bow down to… HOPSLAM
