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. Arome de malt et de houblon. Couleur cuivre, beau collet de mousse assez persistent. Bon équilibre entre les flaveurs de malt caramel et d’amertume très floral. Corps un peu faible. Carbonatation faible typique des ales anglaise. Arrière-goût très long. Très bonne pale ale.

[bottle] Malty sweet aroma.. kind of plain. Pours a very clear amber color, with a plentiful white head. Malty sweet with a touch of spicy hops towards the finish. A decent pale ale, overall.

Bottle. Light fruit and light caramel nose. Low carbonation typical of British type ale. Off white frothy head floating on a pale amber beer. Caramel flavour fills mouth. Low hop bittering, needs more bitter and hop flavour - not American, more of British floral hops. Rich body. Overall a nice beer but is understated in presentation. Should be classified as a Briitish Ale, it is not an American Pale Ale.

Draught @ West 50, Mississauga, ON: I need to overcome my fear of the word ’pale’. Years of living in Molbatoria has hardened me. Came cloudy and orange, a bountiful white nitro head that coated the glass and my tongue on the way down. Incredible aroma of floral perfume; I thought I might be out of it but others at the table caught the scent without provocation. Amazing. Flavour is complex for my experience in the style, and who was I to ever doubt McAuslan anyways? Very malty but with a good hop bomb to it, floral, biscuity, caramely sweetness. Great stuff.
