Beer's many varieties and flavours depends on its ingredients and how it is brewed. The most common beer categories are:

Ale

Full-body beer that's often darker with fruity or spiced flavours.

Ice

Beer with a high alcohol content due to the filtering of ice crystals after brewing.

Light

Highly carbonated beer that is light in colour and body. Contains fewer calories and lower alcohol content.

Stout

Dark beer with strong malt and caramel flavour. Taste varies depending on the variety.

Dry

Crisp, clean beer with a medium-gold colour. Leaves little aftertaste.

Lager

Pale golden beer that is made from bottom fermenting yeast. Lagers are carbonated with smooth flavour.

Draft

Fresh-tasting beer that is normally not pasteurized. Some breweries sell bottled draft beer. Lightly carbonated.
