British ale

British ale is a traditional style of beer originating from the United Kingdom, known for its rich, malty flavors and smooth character. It is typically brewed with top-fermenting yeast at warm temperatures, resulting in a fuller body and complex aroma. British ales often feature notes of caramel, biscuit, and toasted grains, with varying levels of bitterness depending on the style. They can range from session ales to stronger ales, like bitters, porters, and stouts. Often enjoyed at cellar temperature, British ale embodies a historic brewing tradition that emphasizes balance, depth, and drinkability.
