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."

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!

Bottle. Copper coloured with a little foam. Faint citrus aroma. Medium bodied with a fresh fruity taste and ending with a slight hop bitterness. Refreshing.

Clear amber. Small white head. Pale malt and lightly fruity hops. Light graham cracker towards finish. That’s it. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Very quaffable, but unimpressive.

Bottle from Marche Gravelle in Aylmer Quebec. Amber/orange/red ale with an average off-white frothy head. The aroma is caramel malts with a hint of hops. Flavor is sweet caramel malts balanced by a slightly bitter hoppy long finish. Lightly buttery/creamy mouthfeel. Very satisfying beer. One of my favorites.
