238.95 Grams
SwitchExplanation
Convert US cups of ale to grams using a density reference of 1.01 g/mL. With the US cup fixed at 236.588 mL, that gives 238.95 grams per cup for this ingredient.
That is useful when serving notes, can or bottle sizes, and batch prep need ale volume and weight to stay aligned. Ale can vary a little with carbonation, sugar, and alcohol level, so the converter keeps one stable profile instead of swapping between product-specific labels.

Ale density evidence
Ale is a broad category of beer produced using top-fermenting yeast, typically resulting in a fuller body and more expressive malt and yeast character than bottom-fermented styles. In mixed preparations, ale contributes malt sweetness, gentle bitterness, and fermentation-derived complexity.
Practical use: Ale is used as a fermented base to provide malt structure, bitterness, and carbonation. It functions as a body-building and flavor-carrying component, contributing fermentation complexity and moderate alcohol without overwhelming other elements.
Composition and sensory context: Ale presents a malty core with light to moderate sweetness, balanced bitterness, and yeast-driven notes that can range from fruity and estery to softly spicy. The profile is round and structured, offering body and depth rather than sharp freshness.
Ale uses 1.01 g/mL in this dataset, which is 1.0% heavier by volume than the 1 g/mL water reference. Evidence status: medium-confidence. Source basis: Beer density approximation near room temperature.
Among the 2 reviewed records labeled Beer & Ales, the nearest density to Ale is Corona at 1.01 g/mL: an absolute difference of 0 g/mL (0.0% relative to Ale). The observed range in this labeled group is Ale at 1.01 g/mL to Corona at 1.01 g/mL. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the liquids are interchangeable.
Brand formulation, alcohol or sugar concentration, carbonation, and serving temperature can change the weight of a measured volume. Use this value as a documented reference rather than a producer specification.
