Blond beer
The most spreaded beer, recognizable thanks to its gilded color, color of the moonlight or color of freshly cut stubbles.
The range extends from bitter beers with a low alcohol content to sweeter beers with a much more important alcohol content.
Bottom fermentation
Fermented at a temperature between 39°F and 54°F, bottom fermented beers are usually less fruity and have a lower alcohol content than top fermented ones. Moreover, they often contain more carbon dioxide and should be drunk at a lower temperature.
This type of fermentation spread during the 19th century. It became famous because of a beer brewed in the city of Pilsen in Czech Republic. Since this time, the name of the city has been transmitted to bottom fermented beers that are usually called "Pils".
Single malting
Beer brewed with an usual quantity of malt. As malt provides sugar for the fermentation, single malted beers usually have a medium or low alcohol content.
