Is Yards Pale Ale an India Pale Ale?
Yes, Yards Pale Ale is an India Pale Ale (IPA). This style of beer is characterized by its hoppy flavor, which comes from the generous amounts of Chinook and Amarillo hops used in its making. The traditional floor-malted English barley adds a firm malt character to the beer, and aromas of pine and tangerine provide a perfectly balanced IPA. With its emphasis on balance, Yards Pale Ale stands firmly at the east coast end of American IPAs.

A bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale contains 14.6 grams of carbohydrates per 12 ounces. This is a relatively low amount of carbs compared to other beers, making it a popular choice for those looking to watch their carbohydrate intake.
Difference Between IPA and Pale Ale
IPAs (India Pale Ales) and pale ales are both part of the larger beer family of ales, but they each have their own unique characteristics. IPAs have a stronger hop flavor and aroma, whch gives them a more intense bitterness than pale ales. They also typically have higher alcohol content, ranging from 5-7.5% ABV (alcohol by volume), while pale ales usually range from 4.5-6.2%. IPAs also tend to have a fuller body than pale ales, and may contain additional malts for a richer flavor profile. The color of IPAs is usually darker than that of pale ales, due to the added malts and hops used in the brewing process. When it comes to overall taste, IPAs are typically bolder in flavor than pale ales, with an emphasis on the bitter hop character rather than the maltiness found in the latter.
Characteristics of a Pale Ale Beer
Pale Ale is a type of beer brewed using malted barley that has been roasted with a fuel containing a high carbon content and low smoke yield. This roasting process gives the beer its pale color and flavor, which sets it apart from other darker beers. Pale Ale typically contans more hops than other styles of beer, which gives it a more bitter taste and a lighter body. The beer is usually fermented at lower temperatures than other ales, giving it less residual sweetness and more hop bitterness. The result is a refreshingly crisp, hoppy ale that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of complex recipes such as the classic India Pale Ale (IPA).
The Origin of the Name Yard of Ale
A yard of ale is so named because of its size. It is a unit of volume that is equivalent to about 2.4 pints, or 3/4 of a gallon. The glass itself is traditionally around one yard long, though thre are some variations. This unit originated in Scotland and was used to measure out ale for pubs and taverns. The size of the yard of ale was believed to be the perfect amount to quench one's thirst while still being able to carry it with one hand. The name stuck and now it is commonly referred to as a “yard” even if the glass isn't quite a yard long.
