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."

Pours a translucent copper gold with an offwhite quickly dissipating head. The nose was herbal and earthy, sweet caramel malt, diacetyl, english feel. The flavor is similar, earthy herbal english hops, mild bitterness, earthy, caramel malt. Mild herbal bitterness to the palate.

Amber beer with almost no head. No lacing either. Sharp hop bitterness and a metallic finish. Like eating some random garden flowers. Well not that bad. But it is a bit harsh. Not interested in anymore of this stuff.

yay 100th review. Past couple days of going through my notepad files was hell. This was a great pale ale even from memory. Nice hop bite very floral. Malt character was nice and rich. Great brew.

Bottle, tried in beer tasting. Pours a copper color with a medium head. Perhaps a little dark for a pale ale . . . Nice floral, hoppy aroma. Flavor was very well balanced, a mixture of flowery hops with a rich malty backing and some smoke. Just a well brewed pale ale. If I could grab a sixer of this for session drinking, I would in a heartbeat.

Clear golden copper color with a thin white head that quickly settles to a cover. Sweet and caramelly, apricot and peach aromas. More fruity apricot flavors and a dry finish with some lingering grapefruit hop bitterness. Nice pale ale.

Clear copper pour. Fizzy beige head. Hops on the nose. Hoppy flavor with a decent malt backbone.
