What is a Pale Ale?
A Pale Ale is a light malt-based beer with a good balance between malt and hops. Medium body, pleasant carbonation, aromas ranging from herbal to fruity depending on the hops. Designed to be easy to drink but with character.
Pale Ale vs Golden Ale
Golden Ales (or Blonde Ales) are lighter, softer, and less hopped. Pale Ales put hops at the center of the aromatic experience (bitterness, fruit, resin); Goldens focus on drinkability and malt delicacy.
What is a Pacific Pale Ale?
Variant influenced by hops from the Pacific coasts (Western USA, Australia, New Zealand). More hopped, with citrus, resinous, or tropical aromas, very aromatic and clean profile.

Red Ale: how is it different?
Red Ale has an amber-copper color, with more pronounced malts (toasty, caramel, biscuit notes). Compared to Pale Ale, the malt profile is more evident and the balance between sweetness and bitterness is different.
