COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
St-Ambroise Pale Ale is the brewery's flagship beer. Introduced in February 1989, it is a hoppy, amber, full-flavoured ale. In The Simon and Schuster Pocket Guide To Beer , beer critic Michael Jackson gave it three stars and described it as: "An outstanding ale... amber-red, clean and appetizing, with a very good hop character, from its bouquet to its long finish. Hoppy, fruity, and tasty all the way through."

Not bad. Pours amber. Didn’t taste much hops in this but maybe it was because I drank it right after an imp stout. Seemed alright, but not really worth it unless it’s in Quebec and cheap. Bottle.

reebtogi (1568) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - JAN 20, 2012
341ml bottle pours a pale amber color with a finger of white head that settles quicky leaving only a few spots of lace on the glass. Aroma is light malts, light fruits and light hops. Taste is light caramel malty sweetness with some hoppy bitterness. Light to medium body and decent carbonation. Average for this style of beer.

VT (134) - Quebec City, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 15, 2012
341 ml bottle. Pours a dark golden blonde with an orange-amber tint. Yellowish-white head, leaves a beautiful lacing on the glass. Smells of corn, slightly floral. Not very tasty, some bit of sweet corn, subtle toffee. Slight herbal bitterness. Somewhat standard blonde, slightly tastier than the commercial stuff.

Gramoit (28) - AUSTRALIA - DEC 28, 2011
A solid beer that is easy to drink. Sweetish in taste with hints of caramel. Nothing wrong with the beer but also nothing overly exciting

frpilz (9) - Illinois, USA - DEC 9, 2011 does not count
smooth and flavor forward, a bit mild on the finish, great aroma, and mouth feel, just needed a tad bit more gusto

341ml bottle (Alko Arkadia, Helsinki). Brown with small whitish head. Aroma has hops and little citrus. Not bad but had so many better pale ales..
