In general, there are slight differences on the beer style that each and every brewery makes.  There are 3 conditions to differentiate among the taste of beers and you need to take some time to study these features in flavor and determine which among them suits you so that you would be able to order the perfect beer over and over again.

Malt beer. The most widely utilized beer style. In fact, malt comes from wheat and barley and is among the ingredients included in the fermentation process. There are a lot of malt variations with different taste, and majority of people find the flavor of malt rather sweet.

Hops beer. This beer style is well-known for its bitter taste. Hops are actually plants which are included when making beer, and are the ones that give the bitter taste in beer. In general, pale ales are the hoppiest beers that can be purchased in the US, UK, Australia, Russia, France and Germany.

Fruitiness. Majority of pale ales possess a fruity taste in them, but in reality, there is no real fruit whatsoever in beer. The fruity taste is in fact a result of the fermantation of the yeast during the brewing process.

Top-fermenting beers and bottom-fermenting beers are the two beer styles that are widely used. Top-fermenting beers (also known as ales) are multifaceted with fruity traits and consist of ale, stout, wheat beer and porter, whereas bottom-fermenting beers (lagers) has a cleaner texture and consist of Oktoberfest, malt liquor, bock, pilsner and American lager. Their color is extremely light, light-bodied and often possesses fewer or no hop or malt qualities.
