Pale Ale

Pale ale kits provide a versatile middle ground between lighter lagers and more intensely hopped IPAs. The range includes classic, American, Australian, Pacific, hazy and fruit-led pale ales with different balances of malt, bitterness and hop aroma.

Choosing a pale ale kit

• Classic pale ale: Black Rock Pale Ale offers a straightforward traditional option.
• American style: Compare Black Rock American Pale Ale with Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series American Pale Ale.
• Australian and Pacific styles: Coopers Australian Pale Ale and Brick Road Classic Pacific Pale Ale provide different regional interpretations.
• Fruit-led pale ale: Mangrove Jack’s Mango Pale Ale is an option when you want a more distinctive fruit character.

Check the recommended fermentables, yeast and fermentation temperature before starting. If you want to increase hop aroma, follow a proven addition rate rather than assuming every pale ale kit needs a full extra packet of hops.
