Fermented at a temperature between 59°F and 79°F, top fermented beers are famous because of their more complex flavours. Moreover, they often have a higher alcohol content (depending on the malt quantity) than bottom fermented ones.
This fermentation type was originally the most spread one, but since this time bottom fermented beers have flooded the market. Mainly brewed by artisanal breweries, top fermented beers are the ones prefered by beer lovers.
After main fermentation, these beers are bottled and ready to be drunk. This way, absence of refermentation allows a shorter brewing process.

Pasteurization consists in destroying micro-organisms and yeasts in the beer in order to ensure its stability and conservation.
Beers aren't always pasteurized. For instance, this is the case for beers refermented in the bottle. In this case, addition of yeasts when bottling doesn't allow such a process.
Beer with a balanced foam, not too much, not too few! These beers are likely to be served in a round glass slightly flared to obtain a good proportion between foam and beer.
Depending on the habits, the beer can be served at one go or in two times. In this case, serve a first part of the beer and begin to enjoy. Then serve the rest of the beer to obtain a beautiful collar again.
This balanced foam allows very thirsty people to drink from the bottle :-)
