Citrus (Reply to this comment)
by bageldog
Although it's true that top-fermenting can produce a lot of esters, the reality is that most American ales are brewed with yeast strains that are very poor ester-producers *and* they use fermenters that further reduce the production of esters. And then they cold-condition the beer to further "clean up" the flavor. A shame, IMO, because I love a good estery ale.
And the citrus? That's not really characteristic of fermentation, but rather the ubiquitous use of certain hop strains, especially Cascades.

Very Informative (Reply to this comment)

Perhaps one of the most informative reviews I have ever read. I now know much more about the difference between different beers.

I now know the difference between the two! And I realize now why I prefer lager.
Thanks a lot, from a guy who now knows at least a little about beer!

Thanks, Bryan, for answering a question I've had for AGES! You eloquently explained this topic in terms so simple that even a layman like me could understand. Very helpful, indeed! :)
Best,
