Aroma: Low to moderate hop aroma from dry hopping or late kettle additions of American hop varieties. A citrusy hop
character is common, but not required. Moderately low to moderately high maltiness balances and sometimes masks the
hop presentation, and usually shows a moderate caramel character. Esters vary from moderate to none. No diacetyl.
Appearance: Amber to coppery brown in color. Moderately large off-white head with good retention. Generally quite
clear, although dry-hopped versions may be slightly hazy.
Flavor: Moderate to high hop flavor from American hop varieties, which often but not always has a citrusy quality. Malt
flavors are moderate to strong, and usually show an initial malty sweetness followed by a moderate caramel flavor (and
sometimes other character malts in lesser amounts). Malt and hop bitterness are usually balanced and mutually
supportive. Fruity esters can be moderate to none. Caramel sweetness and hop flavor/bitterness can linger somewhat
into the medium to full finish. No diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Medium to medium-full body. Carbonation moderate to high. Overall smooth finish without astringency
often associated with high hopping rates. Stronger versions may have a slight alcohol warmth.
Overall Impression: Like an American pale ale with more body, more caramel richness, and a balance more towards
malt than hops (although hop rates can be significant).
History: Known simply as Red Ales in some regions, these beers were popularized in the hop-loving Northern California
and the Pacific Northwest areas before spreading nationwide.
