Bottom fermented beer is a type of beer that is brewed using yeast strains that ferment at colder temperatures and settle at the bottom of the fermentation vessel. This process typically results in a cleaner and crisper taste. In contrast, top fermented beer is brewed using yeast strains that ferment at warmer temperatures and rise to the top of the fermentation vessel, resulting in a more complex and fruity flavor profile.
The main differences between ale and lager production are in temperature and type of yeast used. Lager is fermented at a lower temperature than ale and uses a bottom fermenting yeast whereas ale uses a top fermenting yeast.
A lager is fermented at relatively cooler temperatures using bottom-fermenting yeast. Compare to an ale, which uses top-fermenting yeast at warmer temperatures. Clarification is the precipitation of the yeast from the finished brew.
An altbier is a type of German beer that is top-fermented and known for its balanced maltiness and hop bitterness. It is typically darker in color and has a clean, crisp finish. What sets it apart from other beer styles is its combination of ale and lager characteristics, as it is fermented at cooler temperatures like a lager but with ale yeast.
Lager is a type of beer that has been fermented using yeast that prefers a cooler temperature than ale yeast. It is made of the same ingredients as beer, namely barley, water, hops, and yeast. The only difference between Lager and Ale is the type of yeast used and the temperatures that it is fermented at. Lagers are a "bottom fermenting" beer that prefers cooler temperatures. Ales are "top fermenting" beers that prefer warmer temperatures.
Lagers is normally a generalized term used for ANY beer. People use terms like "Ale" just to describe the way that it is brewed. Ales are brewed mainly from top fermented alcohol and typically taste alot more "hoppy." Lagers are usually stuff like, Budweiser, MGD ect ect. Which basically are "bottom" fermented beers, and usually need to be stored at certian temperatures in order to complete (always cold) and take ALOT longer to brew. Lagers are really a much lighter, cleaner tasting beer where as if you want to really taste the flavor of the hops, then id go Ale.
it depends on the style of beer you are drinking - be more specific
Beer. Lots of Beer.

Bottom fermenting yeast, which produce Lager beers, are fermented at lower temperatures (around 0-5 degrees C), and take roughly twice as long to ferment as ales, which are procuced with top fermenting yeast Top fermenting yeast produce Ales and are fermented at higher temperatures (around 10-15 degrees C), and have a shorter fermentation time.

Beer has four main ingredients: malted barley (or occasionally other grains such as wheat), yeast, hops and water. The barley is "malted" by being dampend and allowed to germinate. The malted barley is handled in a variety of ways, and this is one reason why beer is so varied in flavour, colour and other characteristics. In general, the malted barley is roasted (and this is largely what imparts the colour) and then mixed with the water, yeast and hops to ferment. The hops impart the beer flavour, and, once again, vary greatly in character, quality and amount. Beers are fermented in different ways too. They can be "top-fermented" or "bottom fermented" referring to how the yeast is added. The results of these different techniques are called either pilsners or ales, and a heffeweisen is a beer which ferments using only the natural yeasts in the air (they're all around us!!!). The end product is filtered (and, in big companies, pasteurized - ie. boiled!) and then bottled. The bubbles are CO2 produced by the yeast as they eat the sugars from the malt. The yeast are little animals which live until all the sugar is consumed by them, and they leave two valuable by-products: alcohol and carbon dioxide.
