PALM Ale has long been one of Europe’s top-selling specialty beers. Made with English hops, French Barley, and Belgian yeast, PALM represents the best of European beer-making traditions. It’s the roasted Champagne Malt which gives PALM its amber color, but without being heavy. Also available bottle-conditioned as Palm Hergist.

On tap in amsterdam. Pours an orange brown with a two finger head. Malt aroma, just a hint of fruit. Smooth, light mouthfeel but very drinkable. Light quick bitter finish. 1/11/09- Bottle. Drinkable, but certainly not with the flavor/complexity that comes with a Belgian Ale. Light body and just a twing of bitter- really not much to it for a belgian ale. Remember it much better on draft.

not much aroma, slightly sweet but buried under a white frothy head that seems to be nitrogen infused... surely not? Warm nutty light brown colour that matches the nutty warmth on the tounge. But fades away too quick, without a lot of character or depth, to a slightly rotten aftertaste. If I didn’t know better I would’ve thought it was a ham-fisted attempt by a mass light-lager brewer to create a "traditional ale" style; inoffensive enough for those who like things safe.

Bottle 30cl. A beautiful clear amber beer with a small white head. Aroma of bread and caramel. Sweet taste and a little bitter, watery ending.

Tap. Amber pour with light brown head. Spice, bread and grass. Light body with short and funny finish. Not exciting and not offensive.

Drank from the tap at Ron Blacks in White Plains, NY. Grain and malt flavors dominate this beer with a little bit of a straw, skunky aftertaste.

Interestingly light ale, moderate maltiness and some hoppiness, though not--by my admittedly hop-hating standards--overly so. everything i’ve just said means "not very offensive", but that’s the problem with this beer--it has nothing positive going for it, just an absence of things bad with it!

Amber with a low head. Aroma of biscuits and bread. The flavour is sweet, dominated by the malts, with a weak bitter ending.

One of the beers I always have at my home. Can be drinked with everything, goes inside very smooth with a very rich flavour.
