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 out a light copper color with a small to moderate white head. Aroma is of some sweet malts and a little grassy/earhty hop note there too. Taste is very drinkable, sweet malts, slight fuity notes and some hop bitterness lingering throughout.

12 oz bottle from Ralphs Palm Springs. Nose of light floral hops, a light peach note, sweetness, and caramel. Clear copper with a medium oatmeal colored head. Flavor was lots of caramelly malt, light hop bitterness, and some fruitiness. Would make a good session beer.

Un peu moins fruiter qu une esb, une amertume de houblon moyenne mais avec une presence aromatique intensifier. Presence d un peu de caramel. Tres bonne. Less fruity than a esb, medium hop bitterness with a more intense aromatic presence. A touch of caramel. Very good.

Amber pour with a small white head. Subtle malt nose with a dash of hops and some biscuity yeast. Flavor is lightly bitter hops over a nice caramel malt backbone. Good.

Pours slightly hazed amber with a bit of white head. Sort of an orange hop aroma with some buttery malt. Flavor is citrus and caramel. Pretty easy drinking. I would drink it again if I end up in Canada.
