Amber beer

Prepared with slightly roasted malt, an amber beer is recognizable thanks to its "caramel" or "amber" color. It is sweeter and contains more alcohol.

Top fermentation

Fermented at a temperature between 59°F and 79°F, top fermented beers are famous because of their more complex flavours. Moreover, they often have a higher alcohol content (depending on the malt quantity) than bottom fermented ones.
This fermentation type was originally the most spread one, but since this time bottom fermented beers have flooded the market. Mainly brewed by artisanal breweries, top fermented beers are the ones prefered by beer lovers.

Refermented in the bottle

Refermentation in the bottle is due to the addition of yeasts, and sometimes sugar, in the beer while bottling. Then beer is stored in a hot (68°F to 77°F) fermentation room for a few weeks before being sold.
Once begun, refermentation goes on during the conservation of the beer. Consequently taste and alcohol content evolve all along its ageing.
Because of the presence of yeast, you're likely to see a little sediment at the bottom of the bottle and beer can be a bit cloudy.

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.

Pasteurized

Invented by Louis Pasteur in 1856, pasteurization consists in heating the beer to a high temperature (158°F approximately). Often beer is pasteurized after being bottled, in such a case bottles are heated to pasteurization temperature during several minutes.
By destroying yeasts and micro-organisms in the beer, this process ensures the stability and conservation of the beer.

"Balanced" foam

Beer with a balanced foam, not too much, not too few! These beers are likely to be served in a round glass slightly flared to obtain a good proportion between foam and beer.
Depending on the habits, the beer can be served at one go or in two times. In this case, serve a first part of the beer and begin to enjoy. Then serve the rest of the beer to obtain a beautiful collar again.
This balanced foam allows very thirsty people to drink from the bottle :-)
