St-Ambroise Pale Ale
First time trying anything from this brewery, going through their whole lineup this month. Found a 4 pack at my local LCBO. Pours a very bright, gem-like amber colour with a decent head that lasts a few minutes and leaves a nice trail of lace. Malty aroma with strong caramel or toffee tones and a decent spiciness to it. A bit on the sweet side for me, but appealing nonetheless. This beer feels medium-bodied and has a low-medium carbonation to it. Maybe a bit yeasty on the aftertaste. The taste is quite pleasant, if not a tad mild. There is a toasted woodiness to the malt that gives this beer its main body with just enough bitterness to keep things balanced and a crisp, dry finish with citrus tones to it. Thanks to its somewhat light characteristics, I find St Ambroise Pale Ale very drinkable, though I usually prefer something with just a bit more bite to it.
