RIP ALE

Ale is a type of beer brewed from barley malt with a top-fermenting brewers yeast. This yeast ferments the beer quickly, giving it a sweet, full body and a fruity (and sometimes butter-like) taste. Most ale contains some herb or spice, usually hops, which imparts a bitter herbal flavour that balances the malt's sweetness. As an appellative, ale means any top-fermented beverage made from malt. The other major style of beer is lager, which is bottom-fermented.

RIP Ale is a high alcohol content brew (10.3%), brewed using dark-roasted barley malts, almost black in colour but with such purity that it rarely produces a hangover.
