Ales are very common in Britain, Germany, Canada's eastern provinces, the United States, and Belgium; however, palelager is the dominant style of beer in almost all other countries.
Ales are normally brewed with top-fermenting yeasts, though a number of British brewers, including Fullers and Weltons, use ale yeast strains that have less pronounced top-fermentation characteristics.
Paleale (the name referring to its relatively pale to deep amber color as compared to dark ales like porter or stout) originated in England and has a flavor that's reasonably balanced between the hops and maltedbarley.
The best-known varieties are Köln'sKölsch, a very paleale, and altbier (most associated with Düsseldorf but made in other parts of western Germany as well); wheat beers such as hefeweizen and Berliner Weisse are also technically ales, though they may have different flavours, particularly the pronounced banana-like estery flavour of hefeweizen.
