The very first beer brewed by Ninkasi and Christophe Fargier in September 1997, as of 2020 the Ninkasi Ambrée becomes the Ninkasi Pale Ale!

Ninkasi Ambrée is an American Pale Ale style beer and is one of the breweries perennial favourites. Light and refreshing, with a measured bitterness, this delicate, amber-bodied brew is capped by a thick off-white head, releasing waves of yeasty, brown sugar, malt and fruit notes. On the tongue, you’re treated to more fine fruity malts, with citrus and spice, alongside yeast and caramel that usher in a light, crisp, finely bitter finish.

Sampled draught at the brewpub.
Hazy bronze colour. Hoppy, flowery nose with a touch of black berries. Sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. The hops are aromatic rather than bitter, resulting in a perfumy finish.

Hazy dark amber color. Aroma of malt, cork, a bit sour; carbonic acid. Dry, a bit astringent, good body structure, quite good malt; some caramel. Quite unusual in the French landscape, pleasant.

2004-10-29, Draught at the brewery, 7-4-8-4-15=38
Beautiful amber color; nice head. Nice hoppy aroma. Very good body, malty, a bit sweet and fruity (the Cascade hop), but it should be more bitter at the end. Very good.
