Palmer - American Pale Ale

This is an award-winning recipe from Brewing Classic Styles by Jamil Zainasheff and John Palmer.

 

American pale ale is crafted in the image of British pale ale using American hops and yeast strains. British pale tends to be brewed with a small amount of caramel malt and a small percentage of sugar adjunct, whereas American pale is all-malt but paler still. This combination gives American pale a bright flavor, an assertive bitterness, and a crisp dry finish. These beers are brasher than the English style, but the goal of pale ale is drinkability, and this recipe has it.
