St. Ambroise Pale Ale

Brewed by McAuslan Brewing
Style: American Pale Ale
Montreal, Canada

12 oz bottle at Butters’ 4th Cellar Reduction. Pours an off-white lacing head with a clear amber body. Smells of brown sugar and some hops. Taste biscuit, caramel, and hops.

Pours a reddish orange with a fluffy white head and nice lace. The Aroma is somewhat soapy and has so floral hops. The flavor is bright and fruity somewhat sweet at first but is overtaken by a nice bitterness. Lots of hop character to balance out sort of a weird maltiness.

Clear amber red body with a decent head that almost hung around. Light caramel and grapefruit on the sweet aroma. Taste is not too full on, seems dry, same notes again along with resin and pine. Drinkable and very sessionable.

Pours an orange-amber colour with a nice big white head. Aroma has notes of grapefruit, pine, resin... cascade hops. Some green apple, floral notes, caramel, and some biscuity malt are on the nose as well. Grapefruit is the dominant flavor initially on the palate, along with caramel, vanilla, green apple, pine and resin. I’m going to say crystal and caramalt combo with cascade hops. Nice pale.

12 oz bottle. Pours a amber color with a small white head. Aroma is malts, hops, and a light caramel taste to it. Flavor has a decent hop bitterness to it, and a light crisp malt flavor and a smooth finish. Not extraordinary, but a solid APA.

Good every day drinker this. Standard issue in appearance although the nose threw up some slightly concerning stale lager notes early but these soon blew off. A hint of fruit sweet ness as well. Palate is a bit hard to read; some bitterness but not in the resiny North American mould, mild fruitiness and a slightly spicy finish. Not much to get excited about but not bad all the same.

On tap at restaurant, Pours amber, no head (dunno how it was poured in my glass) nice color. Not a lot of aroma. Some fruit and caramel maybe. Lovely taste, lots of fruit considering the type of beer. It surprised me a bit. Some caramel also. Nice beer, very drinkable, refreshing fruity taste. Rating no 10. 090206. Re-rate 090423. Had this one a lot of times. Aroma is a 6 at least. Flavor is 8. I realy like this beer. Re-rate 090507. Had it from a bottle in a bar. it was not as good as it is on tap. The spirit was there but it seemed less fresh. Aroma was less present, same with taste. Almost boring. Did not change my rating based on that sample.

Best on tap, Really flavorful with a hoppy fruity taste and a bitter finish.
