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."

Really biscuity, hops give lychee and citrus, really well made pale ale.

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.

Bottle 05.30.09. Pours clear dark gold, off white head. Aroma is malty and hoppy. Flavor is the same and not distinctive, but not offensive. I prefer more hops bite.

330ml bottle. Poured light ruby in colour with a beige head of large bubbles and a slight haziness. Well carbonated with a head of foam the colour of the foam that is left behind after a wave breaks on the beach. Full bodied aroma of raisins and cranberries, nice and lively. Slightly burnt metallic taste that sticks to the roof of your mouth. Good testure and finish with along aftertastex

Pours dark amber with a foamy tan head. Aroma of flowery hops with notes of lavender, honey, and herbs. Tastes of pale malt, light cookie, floral hops. Medium bodied and lightly resinous with soft carbonation. Nice and subdued.

Bottle shared. Pours light amber with a small white head. Aroma of citrus hops, perfume aroma. Taste is a little maltier with the hops finishing solidly. Mouth is smooth and finish is bitter. Not overly hopped like many pale ales. A decent sessionable brew.

Pours a light amber color. Nice size and long lasting head. Hoppy, flowery perfume aroma. Medium bodied, slightly malty, caramel flavors, metallic / dry finish. Not bad at all and quite an enjoyable beer.

On tap @ Beer Bistro in Toronto. Pours clear copper with white head. I had it right next to the Durham Hop Addict, and I think I liked the Hop Addict better. More malt flavor than hops, but it was well balanced. A little caramel and pine flavor though.
