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. 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.

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...
