The ABV (alcohol by volume) of a beer is a measure of how much alcohol the drink contains. The ABV of Pawtucket Patriot Ale is estimated to be 5%, the same as Budweiser. This estimate is based on the fact that in the crossover episode with *The Simpsons*, it is discovered that Pawtucket Patriot Ale is just Duff beer with a different label.

While some have claimed that Pawtucket Patriot is an English bitter beer due to its colour, brewer Matt Wiley disagrees, saying that it is "far too light to be a bitter". Wiley also notes that ales and lagers are made with different types of yeast and that the yeast in ales can give a wider array of flavours. However, despite its name, Pawtucket Patriot Ale is not an ale but a lager, as discovered in the crossover episode with *The Simpsons*.
