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."

Tap. Clear golden with a good off-white head. Crisp aroma of grass, citrus and passion fruit, with some ESB-like caramel malt. The same notes return in the flavor, with the malts dominating. Could have used a little more hops. Sparkly carbonation, medium to light body. A little watery, the flavour isn’t full enough. Not very exciting, but enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a mostly white head. Soft grain y dry bitter hoppiness. Some dried fruit and pine. Nothing special.

11/14/2007: St. Ambroise Biere Blonde Pale Ale has a transparent pale orange appearance. It has a soft and creamy malt aroma (some diacetyl), but there are no hops to be smelled. The flavor is creamy and almost buttery malt flavor with some mellow hops toward the back. It is a touch grainy in the finish. This beer has a medium-like to medium body and is quite mediocre overall.

11.5 fl. oz. bottle shared by Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #334 for this beer.

Pours light brown with an off white head. Aroma is fruits and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet and malty and slightly roasty with a nice bitter finish and fruity hop flavor.

11.5 oz. bottle. Pours an amber color with a nice off-white head. Pretty decent lacing. Nice balance b/w the malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness. Hints of fruit, and slightly metallic. A slight creamy feel in the mouth. Medium bodied. Pretty good.

Amberish beer that produced a large off white cap with ok retention and decent messy lacing. The aroma was sweet and fruity with corn and seemed a bit fake but it was still top notch somehow. Immediate bitterness of decent quality, bread, dull citrus. Lots of carbonation and a slight coating in the mouth. Nothing to stab the clerk at the liquor store over.

11.5oz bottle. Pours a clear dark copper color with a fairly solid off-white head. Aroma is strong and fresh, with a very earthy mix of hops, floral notes, grains, and malt. Taste is creamy and fairly full, with a very mild flavor of grains and malt coming up to a slightly hoppy and floral finish. Not in the same league as their stout, but still a solid and mellow APA.
