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."

An amberish colour with a thin white head. Aroma is of grass/hops. Flavor is quite active, hint of citrus, caramel and nice hop finish.

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.

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.
