COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

TURDFERGUSON (2482) - Carrboro, North Carolina, USA - JAN 16, 2012
Draft at Tylers. Golden with a small white head. Nose is lightly fruity, dusty, yeast. Flavor is lightly sweet, some light diacetyl, lemon. Lightly dry mouthfeel with a bit of frutiness. Pretty ho-hum.

BrewBoxer (770) - Brooklyn, USA - JAN 11, 2012
Bottle. Ambler golden deep brown. Nice carmel smell and color. Nothing excites you once you taste it. Pretty ordinary to me, not much of a belgian, but better then most macros

The sweetness in the aroma entices my desire. Solid copper with an appreciable white head. Tastes more like a corn-laden lager with sugar and accompanying sweetness than anything. Can’t appreciate it? Go home!

BLAH! The only thing that makes this beer a Belgian beer is the fact that it’s made in Belgium. Aroma was weak. Light malt, bubble gum and some caramel notes. Pour was a medium gold/light amber with a one finger off white head and plenty of rising bubbles. Taste was pathetic. Very thin and watery with the medium carbonation drowning out most of the beer’s flavor. So there’s not much in the front, other than water. After the swallow, there’s some light caramel notes with an almost ginger ale like aftertaste. All the things that make Belgian beer delicious are painfully missing.

Cunningham (1753) - Halden, NORWAY - DEC 5, 2011

Flaske 0,375l fra Alko Muonio. Gyldenbrun. Drukket hjemme 12 Jul 11. Brukbart skum som forsvant nesten helt. Lett fruktig aroma. Smaken søtlig gress & mais. Uvariert. Litt syrlighet i ettersmaken. KI=5
