I've downed a tankard of ale. 我已经喝下了一大杯麦芽酒。
The ale will fine. 啤酒会变清的。
Who could have ever expected that a dragoon would drink sixpenny ale, smoke horrid bird's-eye tobacco, and let his wife wear a shabby bonnet? 谁能料到一个龙骑兵会喝六便士一瓶的啤酒,抽蹩脚得可怕的鸟眼牌烟草,会让他的妻子戴一顶破破烂烂的帽子啊?”
Ale is a type of beer brewed using a warm fermentation method, resulting in a sweet, full-bodied and fruity taste. Historically, the term referred to a drink brewed without hops.
As with most beers, ale typically has a bittering agent to balance the sweetness of the malt and act as a preservative. Ale was originally bittered with gruit, a mixture of herbs or spices boiled in the wort before fermentation. Later, hops replaced gruit as the bittering agent.
