Red Car Brewing’s Two Rail Pale Ale
If you are looking for a classic American pale ale with a Cascade, Willamette hop profile, here is a great recipe. While it is called a pale ale, this beer will really land you more in the red/amber category than pale.
Three Floyds Brewing Company: Alpha King clone
A bold yet balanced American pale ale with slight caramel sweetness and aggressive citrus hoppiness.

Deschutes Brewing Company: Mirror Pond Pale Ale clone
Deschutes leans on Cascade hops in this classic pale ale to give this beer lots of floral and citrus notes.
Terrapin Brewing Co.’s Rye Pale Ale clone

BruRm @ BAR’s Pale Ale clone
Toeing the line between American and British-styled pale ale, the BruRm’s pale ale is hopped with both American and British hops and fermented with a British yeast strain. It’s a thirst-quencher no matter how you classify it though.
