Palm Royale

Brewed by Brouwerij Palm
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Steenhuffel, Belgium

Flaske 0,75 fra juletilbudet hos Alko Arkadia. Aprikosfarget. Uklar. Lavt skum. Fruktig aroma. Tørr syrlig fruktig smak med innslag av gjær. Mye kullsyre. Et øl på det jevne. Delt med flere under julelunsj hos Rune.

Poured from a 750ml dark green bottle, topped with a cork and a wire cradle. Unclear golden, filmy layer on the surface. Mild spiced fruits to the nose. Blended flavour of tart and sweet fruits. A bit tea-like taste. Discreet notes of yeast. Soft and rounded in the mouth (thanks to Finn for sharing, Romjuls party, Tromsø 27.12.2009).

On draught at Bar Vanna in Cassela, Italy. This brew is a clear golden color with a medium foamy white head that recedes steadily. Thin rings of lacing on the glass. Fruity aroma with notes of malt and yeast. Medium body with a fruity character and flavors of earthy malt and yeast. The finish is somewhat tart and fruity and lingers for a bit. Just average overall.

Bottle. Small head, Yellow. Compared to a ’ normal’ Palm somewhat hoppier,sweeter, fruitier. But i prefer the normal one, therefore the difference is too less.

Bottle. Pours a nice golden colour with small off-white head. Aroma is fruity. Taste is very very mild for 7.5%, almost didn’t taste the alcohol. Bit bitter/malty in flavour. It’s quite carbonated. It’s ok, but quite dull and wouldn’t buy it again if it wasn’t on sale ;-)

From bottle, red to brown, total dirt in there (lots of giant floaters) with small head, aroma of caramel, toffee and some alcohol, flavor is mainly caramel and toffee, with nice bitter finish. Body is quite watery. It is a shame the body is so dull otherwise it could be a nice beer.

Draft @ De Koornbloem, Roeselare. Pours a clear golden color with a small off-white head. Has a malty grainy and slightly fruity aroma. Sweetish malty fruity flavor with some bitterness. Has a sweetish malty grainy bitter finish.
