Question

Ale is ____________

(a) A carbohydrate source

(b) A beer brewed from malted barley

(c) A flavour imparting substance

(d) A yeast

This question was posed to me in an interview for internship.

I need to ask this question from High Gravity Brewing and Glossary in section SCADA System for Bioreactors, Beer and Brewing of Fermentation Technology

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) A beer brewed from malted barley

The explanation: Ale is a beer brewed from malted barley but not bittered with hops. After that, beer is brewed from malts and hops by the top fermentation system at a higher temperature. Now, any beer brewed in this way does not require the top-fermenting system.
