| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 30, 2006 Gorgeous. Just about everything I had last night was! Poured darker than I expected for a pale ale. Small head, and as good as I expected from my past experience with St. Ambroise. . The flavour comprised of sweet ripe fruits and a very nice bitterness lingered in the aftertaste. Best Pale I have had yet. StompBrockmore (300), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2006 341ml bottle - pours a slightly hazy golden/amber with a medium white head. Aroma is very fruity/floral/creamy - different and interesting, with a good malt presence and flowery hops. Flavour is also fruity and lightly sweet, with ripe notes and good amount of hopping. Somewhat reminscent of an English bitter in many ways. Very flavourful. Good stuff. mgermani (864), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 22, 2006 Pours a golden amber with a nice head with some retention and plenty of lace. Aroma of pale malt, floral hopping, and alcohol. Wonderful pale malt flavour with some amber malt. Great hopping, very thirst-quenching without the usual lack of character inherent in such beers. Fantastic hoppy aftertaste blends perfectly with sweet notes that linger on the tongue. Excellent carbonation, slightly thin body but rests easily in the mouth. Tasty - not my favourite style, but a good example of a pale ale with something to say. probstk (1027), Nepean, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 8, 2006 Pours medium amber with a slightly off-white head that lasts fairly well. Nice light, floral hops, some sweet malt notes and light fruitiness on the nose. Med. body and carbonation. Sweet, malty with flavours of butterscotch candy. A little hops comes through and sl. bitterness to finish. kwoeltje (1315), Manchester, Missouri, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 15, 2006 Bottle: Slightly hazy, amber coloured, smaller, absolutely stable head, that sticks to the glass; enormous aromatic hoppy and fruity nose, some malt in the background; stronger bitter-sweet flavour; peppery hoppy, resinous finish, well balanced by some malt, lingering bitter aftertaste. Superb stuff, joss ! HenrikSoegaard (4323), Randers, Denmark

Pours an attractive golden amber with a modest head. The aroma is fruity - apple and peach - with a whisper of grassy hops. The flavor is gently sweet, again with the fruit notes - especially peach - dominating early before handing off to well-balanced if laid back floral hops. <!-- p -->
The flavors run toward an ESB and the whole comes together in a very drinkable way. I renjoyed this beer greatly.
