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."

Bottle from Once Upon a Vine North in Richmond, VA. Pours a reddish amber with a 2-finger head. Citrus and floral hops aroma. Assertive citrus and pine hops throughout with subtle caramel and rye notes. Full bodied, strong effervescence.

12oz bottle-pours a retaining tan head and copper/orange color. Aroma is mild light/medium malt-some caramel, secondary wood/spice hops. Taste is mild light/medium malt-some caramel, secondary wood/spice/hint of citrus zest hops. Mild carbonation. Comes through as more English than American to me. Thanks to jwc215(BA) for sharing.

Nice sessionable ale. It pours a clear amber body with a creamy off-white head and performs some heavy duty lacing. The aroma is light, toffee and butterscotch with the light fruitiness of tangerines and peaches. Well carbonated, almost gassy. The flavor is much like the nose, but stronger. Just a very mildly bitter finish with some juicy stoned fruit.

11.5 oz. Clear copper with a bubbly head that fizzles away fairly quickly. Earthy caramel and butterscotch nose fades as well. Front is woody, with some butter, caramel, and then a metallic/sour apple twang. Toasted nut and grassy bitter finish. Light body is slightly tingly and finishes dry.

Pours a clear copper with a light amount of white head. Aroma of hops and citrus (peach). Favor definitely fruit and hops with hints of creamy malts. Body is light with fair carbonation.

11.5 oz bottle. Clear amber with a frothy white head. Sweet caramel and light biscuit nose, some nondescript fruitiness, a shade of floral hop. Flavor is more of the same, less the fruit. Hops are a bit bolder in the flavor. Medium body, excellent chunky lace rings. Very drinkable!
