Beers similar to St-Ambroise Pale Ale

McAuslan Brewing

Pale Ale·Canada·5% ABV·One of 640 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share St-Ambroise Pale Ale's bitter and citrusy character. The brewery's first beer, on sale since February 1989 and still its best known. Cascade, Willamette, Golding and Hallertau hops sit over a body of specialty malts, giving an amber pour with a floral, faintly resinous nose. The palate runs from bready caramel malt into orange and grapefruit peel, with a firm herbal bitterness at 35 IBU and a long, tangy finish. Open-tank fermented with the house Yorkshire yeast.
