WHAT DOES ALE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ale

Ale is a type of beer brewed from malted barley using a warm fermentation with a strain of brewers' yeast. The yeast will ferment the beer quickly, giving it a sweet, full bodied and fruity taste. Most ales contain hops, which help preserve the beer and impart a bitter herbal flavour that balances the sweetness of the malt.

Definition of ale in the English dictionary

The definition of ale in the dictionary is an alcoholic drink made by fermenting a cereal, esp barley, but differing from beer by being unflavoured by hops.
