In the 19th century, ales that were pale in color were often called “pale ale” or “bitter” interchangeably. Some historians point to brewing records from about 150 years ago, when these beers were referred to as “bitter ales” to distinguish them from the sweeter brown ales and mild ales of the day.

Testimonials:'Just wanted to share with you my recent happiness with using your recipes from the website. I have been AG brewing for 4years and in the past month made both the Electric Pale Ale and the Electric IPA with outstanding results.
Very balanced beers and easily the best I’ve made. I followed the recipes through including the water profiles and can’t believe how good they turned out. Last night I tried the EIPA after it had been carbonating for a couple of days, WOW!'
Brewed this for the first time. After tasting it, it won't be the last. Especially great on a hot afternoon.'
- anthonyroggero'Just had my first taste of this and it's amazing. Looking forward to making many more batches of this!'
- RacingRam'After having this sit in the bottles for just over a week, I found a flaw with this recipe: The beer seems to magically disappear. I just started drinking it a few days ago and a quarter of the batch is gone. Fantastic recipe. Everyone who's tried it can't believe it's home made. This will definitely be a regular on the brew circuit. I think I need better equipment so I can brew larger batches.' - TheWulf'Wow, if you have not brewed this beer I highly suggest you do.
It is getting better as each day goes. The aroma is just absolutely amazing, the taste is awesome as well.
It's just like how a APA should be.' - pola0502ds'This is my new favorite. I entered this into my first beer contest and won first place in the Pale Ale category.' - g8tors'I followed this recipe to the letter and am just now enjoying the first taste after bottle conditioning for a week. It is fantastic! Thanks for the great recipe!'
- matto'This one's a winner, the wife loves the hop flavor and aroma. She's not a hop head so she was loving the clean and not bitter finish. The flavor is excellent and it's really drinkable. Also this was my first ever brew!'
- Besk one'This beer is awesome! Everyone that has tasted it just raves about how good it is.' - Guzzler-Looking for a lower alcohol version of this beer?
See our.This is an all late-addition American Pale Ale (APA) where hops are only added in the last 20 minutes to give it very smooth bitterness with a massive hop flavour. (More information on late hopping on Jamil's site ).The Electric Pale Ale is one that I've made a few times now and everyone who tries it raves about it. I've made minor changes to the hop bill over the last year or two until until I got it exactly the way I liked it.
It's one of my house beers that I like to always have on tap as it's dry and thirst quenching (my preference for APAs).A large portion of the hop goodness comes from the Citra dry hops - they're essential (IMHO). I've also but it just wasn't the same (it was somewhat one dimensional).
I prefer this version here. Try both and let us know what you think!Photos/videos:6 hour slow smoked ribs and Electric Pale Ale.
