pale ales
Light-hued lagers' cousins
Pale ales are beers brewed with pale malt, giving them a lighter color than porters or stouts.
The style originated in England but has proliferated into numerous variations—India pale ale (IPA), American pale ale, Belgian pale ale—each with distinctive hop profiles and bitterness levels.
