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."

Bouteille de 341 ml. La bière est de couleur cuivrée claire avec des reflets orangés. Une mousse blanche épaisse qui diminue lentement sert de couvre-chef à ce liquide houblonné. Au nez des arômes de caramel, de miel, de biscuits à la crème, de noisettes, de beurre, de houblons floral et de pêches se font convaincant pour une pale ale. En bouche la bière a un corps solide et a une texture crèmeuse pour le style de la bère. Des flaveurs de mangues, caramel, miel, crème, pêches, fleurs, abricots et malt sont détectable. La finale est ronde, maltée, florale, moyennement amère et fruitée.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Clear bright copper with lastiing flat head and lace. Mild citrus and malt aroma. Complex caramel and apricot sweetness. Medium English malt and hop flavor and bitterness. Medium body and carbo. Unassuming, but very enjoyable. Complex enough to be interesting.

A bright-amber beer with a fast disappearing head. The aroma is very sweet with notes of caramel, fruits and a very nice hop taste. A very good and enjoyable everyday beer

Bottle. Pours a deep amber, with a slight, white head that recedes to a fine lacing. Aroma is very similar to the taste: honey, caramel malt, with a minimal touch of hops. The little hop is probably what makes the aftertaste so... non-existent. A little bitterness would be preferred, however it also makes this very, very drinkable. Excellent. I look forward to trying the Oatmeal Stout next...

On tap @ Beer Bistro, Toronto. Pours a deep amber color. Aroma of caramel malts & little hop bitterness. Smooth creamy mouthfeel. Taste of caramel malts & little hop bitterness.Nice beer but want some bitterness to a pale ale.

Six-pack from the Beer Store. Pours nicely, a good creamy off-white head with an attractive orange body. Maltier and less hoppy than I expected from the aroma. A very good beer.

Pours a big frothy head that lasts. Pleasent sweet aroma. Tastes like a typical beer you would get at any old brew pub. May be consitered good by real beer buffs but this does not float my boat to the greatest degree.

St. Ambroise Pale Ale - This is a pretty mediocre pale ale by American standards. Not very memorable.
