Ale, pale, bottled

Pale ale is an alcoholic beer, described here in bottled form using a mixed sample from different brewers. It mainly provides water, alcohol and a small amount of carbohydrate, with little protein and only traces of fat. Per 100ml, it contains 118 kJ of energy, 2.8g of alcohol and 2g of carbohydrate, all of which is sugar.

Alcohol contributes to the energy content of pale ale, so its energy does not come from sugar alone. This is relevant when considering energy or sugar intake. Alcohol can also affect judgement and coordination, and low fat or salt content does not reduce these effects. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
