Trouble Brewing "Ambush" Juicy Pale Ale

Soft. Vibrant. A modern Irish classic.
Ambush is the flagship Juicy Pale Ale from Trouble Brewing, a brewery known for shaping the contemporary craft beer scene in Ireland with balance, precision, and drinkability at its core. Bright, expressive, and effortlessly approachable, this beer delivers modern hop character wrapped in a soft, smooth body — a pale ale designed to be enjoyed again and again.

Built around a carefully chosen hop blend, Ambush leans into juicy citrus and tropical fruit rather than sharp bitterness. The malt bill supports this with a light, rounded base that allows the hops to shine without overwhelming the palate. A gentle haze and soft carbonation complete the picture, making this a pale ale that feels fresh, modern, and immediately inviting.

For beer drinkers in Ireland, Ambush has become a familiar and trusted name — a beer that fits just as naturally in the pub as it does at home. It’s expressive without excess, flavourful without fatigue, and always easy to return to.

Why we love it:
Ambush gets the balance just right. The hops are vibrant and juicy, but the bitterness stays restrained, keeping the beer smooth and refreshing. It’s the kind of pale ale you can drink all evening without losing interest — approachable, consistent, and unmistakably modern.
