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."

Amber golden color. It has the aroma of hops and the taste of caramel and fruits. It is a very good example of a pale ale.

Verre de dégustation, provenant d’une bouteille de 341 ml, dégusté au Festival Bières et Saveurs 2006 (Chambly, QC) lors d’une conférence de Guy Lévesque. Arôme: Odeur de caramel et d’apricot. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée avec une moyenne densité de bulle. Présence d’un mince col mousseux avec une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de miel et d’houblon. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement minérale. Faible effervescence en bouche. Très légère présence de pétillant en arrière goût. (Rating #629)

A decent beer, but nothing compared to the oatmeal stout. This is a standard pale ale, ive had better and Ive had worse.

Draught. Creamy white lasting head. Clear amber body. Mild malt aroma. Bitterness as expected. Nothing special.

Brilliant orange-amber with a moderate head. Fresh apricot fruit aroma with some green leafy element too. Initially modestly sweet and lightly fruity, but with a woody dry note in the finish. Surprisingly refreshing despite its complexity and very approachable. Fantastic!

It is a good everyday beer. Good bitter hop taste but a tiny metallic ending.

Brown bottle, 341 ml, expiry date: 02 00; eye: reddish golden with yellow reflections, nice lasting white head, light effervescence, lacing that looks like clouds; nose: malt, caramel, hops, light Madeira; mouth: velvey, liquor-like as the beer is 6-year old, very mild, the Madeira is nicely supported by the malt, there is a big drop in taste, becomes almost watery and ends with a nice bitterness and a bit of acridity, lightly bitter, medium body, nice carbonatation; overall: nice surprise FRANÇAIS Bouteille brune, 341 ml, date de péremption : 02 00; oeil : doré rougeâtre avec des reflets jaunatres, belle mousse blanche persistante, légère effervescence, dentelle qui laisse des nuages sur le verre; nez : malt, caramel, houblon, madère léger; bouche : velouté, liquoreux probablement parce que la bière a 6 ans d’âge, très douce, le côté madère est supporté par le malt, chute brusque du goût, devient presque aqueuse, puis se termine avec une petite poinle d’amertume et une pointe encore plus petite d’âcreté, légèrement amère, corps moyen, bonne carbonatation; en résumé : belle surprise
