33 cl. bottle. Copper color with a two finger off-white head. Smells malty with a touch of light stone fruit. Full bodied with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel malt with fruit. Mouthfeel is a bit - I’ll borrow oily. A little too unbitter for my taste. It’s bordering on those things in 24 oz cans lying near the folks laying on the walk. It was Gordon and Gordon Platinum on the walk today.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a medium creamy head. Rich malty aroma and taset with fruity notes. Oily palate.

500 ml can. nice light amber colour. taste is okay, bit too much alcoholtaste. not bad, but not what I hoped for in a Palm ...

330 ml bottle. Golden amber body with a medium white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malt. Flavor is sweet, caramel and spoiled a bit with a strong alcohol character. Promising aroma, but unbalanced with to much alcohol. Could fool me anytime as a malt liquor.

(33 cl bottle at Delirium Cafe, Brussels) On March 24, 2008. BB 21/11/08. Clear copper color, small white head. Sweet, spicy and peppry alcohol scent. Sweet, almond and alcohol taste. Moussy mouthfeel, low bitterness. Sweet alcohol aftertaste.

Not such a great beer from Belgium. Poured clear. Pretty decent sized head. Malty flavor and thin body. I think mine could have been a bit flat...but not sure. Fair but not great.

Bottle. High fluffy but lasting white head. Clear golden body. Weak barley malt aroma. Rater sweet barley malt flavor, pretty watery and with little hops bitterness, low carbonation and a short aftertaste. Alcohol hidden by the sweetness.

Bottle. Sour milk malt aroma. Amber with nice big head. Lightly sweet malt flavor with a moderate astringent alcohol finish. Fairly smooth - not much to make it stand out.
