Jameel and Kareem are discussing alcoholic beverages to accompany an event. Jameal says ale is milder than beer. Kareem says ale is more bitter than beer. Jameal is correct.
Ale is brewed in warm fermentation. That is why it has a fruity flavor, sweeter than other beers. Often it has a bitter agent that serves as a preservative on the ale and to balance the malt. In the Middle Ages, ale was an important part of the diet of people. So Jameal is correct in his affirmation.
