Before anyone begins making allegations, the Beer thread was not deleted on purpose.

While cleaning up old off-topic threads I inadvertently missed excluding that one. As a way to make up for it, I've reinstated the rep points.

If it is American IPA it is the hops. American breweries typically use boring, bland yeast that does not impart much flavor. That is the stereotypical American style and what differentiates our Pale Ales from England's. We go hoppier but less yeast flavor.

So what gives a beer like Blue Moon or Pete's Wicked Summer Brew it's unique crisp bite? It is not the same as the slightly bitter hop taste in an American IPA. Is that yeast? Can you describe some characteristics of yeast flavors, or give examples of what different yeasts do for different beers?
