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."

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.

translucent copper body, about moderate lacing, somewhat thick and soapy white head; mostly earthy, medium floral, medium apple, light grapefruit, light peanut, light caramel; easy, good.

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.

Sampled at Barb’s Beer Emporium in Concord, N.H. Pours a slightly copper color but not as cloudy as most blondes. Beige head fades quickly. Hops on the nose. Very hoppy flavor but also a little sweet.

Bottle. 12 fl. oz. A light copper color with an off-white colored head. Nice longevity and decent lacing. Aromas of hops, light citrus, bread, and caramel malt. Light to medium bodied with fairly dry texture. Flavor is lightly sweet at first with a hoppy bitter middle and a lingering, dry, bitter end. The flavor is a little weak and never seems to fully develop, but I like this beer.

Pours pale amber with mossy brown tones; a stiff ivory head leaves plentiful lace. Candyish malt and hop spice dominate the nose… hints of lemon, marigold, banana, old books, and mint add complexity. An upfront thick, buttery malt flavor (not diacetyl) is followed by mineral and honey sensations, and finishes on a thin blade of citrus and menthol. Full-bodied, dense, chewy, creamy. A mild earthy-bitter aftertaste completes the experience. This is a hearty, hefty brew that could stand up to fatty sausages, game, or a mild cigar.
