American pale ale (APA) is a style of pale ale developed in the United States around 1980.[1]

American pale ales are generally around 5% abv with significant quantities of American hops, typically Cascade.[2] Although American brewed beers tend to use a cleaner yeast, and American two row malt, it is particularly the American hops that distinguish an APA from British or European pale ales.[3] The style is close to the American India Pale Ale (IPA), and boundaries blur,[4] though IPAs are stronger and more assertively hopped.[5] The style is also close to amber ale, though ambers are darker and maltier due to use of crystal malts.[6]
