otheruses Ale is an ancient word for a fermentationfermented alcoholalcoholic beverage obtained chiefly from maltmalted barley. Before the introduction of hop (plant)hops into England from the Netherlands in the 15th century the name "ale" was exclusively applied to unhopped fermented beverages, the term "beer" being gradually introduced to describe a brew with an infusion of hops. This distinction no longer applies.Ales are brewed with top-fermenting yeasts at temperatures from 15 to 25 °CelsiusC (59 to 77 °FahrenheitF). For comparison, lagerlagers are brewed over longer periods, at lower temperatures, to satisfy the bottom-fermenting yeasts. Ales are also usually served at a higher temperature than lagers: in the UK typically around 12 °C (54 °F) for an ale as compared to 8 °C (46 °F) for a lager.In a number of U.S. states, especially in the western United States, "ale" is the term mandated by state law for any beverage fermented from grain with an alcoholic strength above that which can legally be named "beer," without regard to the method of fermentation or the yeast used. This distinction is not obsolete, but it is idiosyncratic. In former times the WalesWelsh and ScotlandScots had two distinct kinds of ale, called ''common'' and ''spiced'' ales, the relative values of which (compared to mead) were appraised by law in the following terms: If a farmer have no mead, he shall pay two casks of spiced ale, or four casks of common ale, for one cask of mead.''Ales are very common in United KingdomBritain, Germany, the United States, and Belgium; however, Lager is the dominant style of beer in almost all countries, worldwide.
Varieties of ale -
United Kingdom / American ales - United Kingdom ales are, worldwide, the most popular variety of beer fermented with top-fermented yeast. Most beers in this region typically are made with yeast strains that leave some Esteresters behind, producing flavors often described as "fruity" or "buttery". "Earthy" English hops are added, adding to the complexity. Within this region, a wide variety of substyles can be found -- ranging from roasted malt ales (porter, stout), to highly hopped ales (India pale ale), to malt-balanced ales (Scottish ale). Alcohol ranges from the very low (e.g. the English mild beer) to the very high (e.g. the English barley wine).American style ales rose out of the microbrewery / craft brewing revolution that began in the early 1980s. Typically, these ales are very similar to their British counterparts, but have cleaner yeast strains, and often have higher hop rates dominated by American varieties (such as the citrusy Cascade hop.)Amber aleAmber/red aleBarleywineBitter (beer)Bitter*Pale ale*India pale ale or Imperial pale ale or Strong pale ale*Summer aleBlonde aleBrown aleCream aleGolden aleLight aleMild ale (or just "mild")Old aleporter (beer)PorterScottish_aleScottish ale and Scotch aleStout*Irish stout or Dry stout*Imperial stout*Milk stout or Sweet stout*Oatmeal stout*Chocolate stout*Oyster stout*Coffee stoutAny of these styles can also be a real ale.

Belgian ales - Belgium produces a wide variety of specialty ales that elude easy classification. In addition to making a variety of blonde ale, common classifications for these specialty beers may be dubbel (malty-complex with a red hue) and tripel (a high-alcohol, lightly-gold colored beer). Some specialty beers are based on old monastic brewing recipes; these beers are often referred to as abbey ales. Six monasteries in Belgium still brew beer; such beers are designated with the Trappist_beertrappist term.
German / hybrid ales - These are old-style ales fermented in Germany. A long, cold conditioning period yields a cleaner style, free of the esters that one finds in UK ales.AltbierKölsch (beer)Kölsch
Wheat beer - Wheat beer is found mostly in Germany, but examples can also be found in America and Belgium. German wheat beers are typically fermented with a yeast that yields esters with banana- and clove-like flavours. In contrast to most styles, these beers are typically served unfiltered (with the suspended yeast clouding the beverage). In American microbreweries, wheat beer is usually fermented with a clean yeast and filtered. Often this beer is combined with fruit flavors (e.g. raspberry wheat beers) to create a light, refreshing drink.Belgian witbier/bière blancheWeissbier, Hefeweizen and Dunkelweizen
Specialty ales - Lambic — a sour ale fermented by wild yeast, sometimes flavored with fruit.Berliner Weisse — a low-strength sour wheat ale originating in Berlin.Flanders ale (Saison, Oud bruinOud Bruin, Bière de Garde) — a unique farmhouse style sour ale produced primarily in the Flanders region of Belgium and France.Rauchbier — a style of beer made with smoked malt. While beers called Rauchbier may be ale, the classic examples are technically lagerlagers.Category:Beer stylesda:Alede:Ale (Bier)pl:Alefi:Alesv:Ale (öltyp)th:เอล

LE VOLCAN ERTA ALE
L'Erta'Ale est un volcan bouclier situé dans le triangle Afar en Ethiopie. Son nom Afar, qui signifie la montagne qui fume témoigne de son activité quasi permanente. L'Erta'Ale est un énorme édifice volcanique s'étirant sur 30 km selon un axe parallèle au grand rift, et culmine à environ 700 m au-dessus de la dépression Danakil. A cause des conditions climatiques extrêmes du désert du Danakil, l'Erta'Ale n'a été visité que par peu de voyageurs et volcanologues. Les Afars eux-mêmes ne s'approchent pas de son sommet, croyant que des esprits de gardiens de troupeaux l'encerclent avec des chevaux volant.
