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.

This rich, Northwest-style pale ale is all about balance and sessionability. Maybe that’s why it won gold at the Great American Beer Festival in 2001 and 2002.
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
Dry hopped with Amarillo®, this American rye pale ale is perfect for summer enjoyment.
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.
