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 Qu’ est que ce? The beer pours amber golden with a smallish head. Aroam is non-descript maybe a touch fruity. Flavor is fairly watery, not much substance. It is not quite clear what dominates here, but contary to some other rates I did not have the feeling that it was carbonated too much or too dry. However something was missing.

The lasting impression I get from this beer is that is a little bit too sweet. I agree with previous poster that this beer is too carbonated and dry for the mouth, so the palate feels deprived after taking a swing of this. The flavor is pretty good, but it is a shame that the initial taste only lasts for a moment, then disappears. Some hops comes through to mask the sweetness as the beer warms up, but there are definitely some holes in this brew. After a while this start to grow on you, so maybe these guys know what they are doing after all.

Pours a carmel gold with a big white head. Smells a bit creamy and malty...some acidity aswell. Flavor is fairly malty and a bit citrusy sweet...some decent hop bitterness to round out the end of it. Mouthfeel is very carbonated and dry.

Très bonne bonne ale à la fois légère et amère. Un arome de céréal frais et un petit goût de fruit.

Dark honey amber with sticky-thick head. Malty flavour with some hop dryness on the finish. After a few ounces it kind of reminds me of an English ESB.

Amber-orange in colour, pours with a foamy head. Nice earthy, fruity aroma. Very easy drinking ale, nice balance between slight fruity taste and mildly bitter finish.

Bottle. Amber color with a off-white head and good lacing. A bit cloudy. Caramel malt and honey notes in the flavour. A medium-bodied with a very good hop bouquet.. The taste is malty with a nice hoppy bitterness. Long and a bit bitter after taste finish. Great balance. Solid and enjoyable. The majority of macros don’t come close to this. This is a ale that I have recently developed a taste for as an everyday beer.
