- English Pale Ales have a lighter hop profile, offering a more mellow drinking experience with earthy, herbal, and citrus notes. 

- American Pale Ale, known for its bold hop character, tends to have a cleaner, more defined bitterness.

Typically golden to amber, Pale Ale typically has an alcohol content ranging from 4.5% to 6%. It pairs well with spicy dishes, grilled meats, and hearty cheeses. The balanced bitterness can cut through rich flavours and complement a wide array of cuisines.
