Ambree by Brasserie La Botteresse de Ser-Les-Bois

The Ambree that I sampled came in a short, stubby, 11.2 FL. OZ. bottle. The label has an image of a desirable female harvesting hops. For some reason, I have a feeling the woman on the label does not resemble the typical agricultural worker in Belgium.   Just a guess though.

The Ambree is an 8.5% alc/vol Belgian Pale Ale that pours a beautiful amber color with an off white/tan head that dissipates quickly.

The aroma of fruit, caramel, and spices made my mouth water in anticipation. The beer tastes just like it smells; fruity, with a hint of spice, but in no way overpowering. The flavoring of the Ambree also provides a great mellow aftertaste.

The Ambree is a smooth and well balanced pale ale that was a joy to drink. Overall, a very solid beer that I would recommend to anyone looking for a flavorful, drinkable Belgian pale ale.
