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.

Had this every night for six weeks while working in Nederland since this was the best choice at my hotel, guess I become a bit used to it and found a few qualities here that’s not to obvious by the first impressions. Body is dark golden with a fine white head. Aroma is quite clean malty with some hops. Flavor is refreshing and pretty distinct malty in balance with some caramel and bitterness with a certain degree of fruitiness. It’s not a word class beer, but giving it a fair chance it’s very smooth and balanced. It works as the first beer after some long ours work and it actually also work as a nightcap after a late dinner with a handful of trappists.

Pour is golden reddish with a thin white head. Aroma is malty and a little fruity...not too much in the aroma. Taste is smooth and sweet with some fruit and malts. Very sweet and delicious.

Bottle courtesy of Phil @beermerchants. Pours amber/golden. White head doesn’t last long. aromas of malt, pears. Sweetish texture. Fruity, malty flavour. Finishes sweet and very mildly hoppy.

Tap @ Tigin’s in Stamford, CT. Sweet flavor comes strictly from malt and the texture is very smooth and velvety. Hops are almost nonexistent.

bigrond (1216) - factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 7, 2009
Pours a clear crisp light hue with a big white head. Aroma like everything else is very average. This is my first offing from Palm and I’m not impressed.

mansquito (1607) - washington, Washington DC, USA - SEP 6, 2009
Got this at Peculier Pub in the East Village, came in the nice glass and all that. Pours amber color with a creamy looking white head. Not much to the smell, which was mild: malts, a few hops and some yeast. Very slightly sweet, especially with the fruitiness right in the middle. Then the finish of the beer goes to a dry taste. Definitely has a few stages of flavor, but overall nothing overly impressive.

draft came in the nice palm glass has a light amber color and a thin coating of white head. aroma has mild malt, sweetness, bitter hops, and some bread. light mouth feel leads to a mild malted beer, complementing sweetness, mild bitter hops, and some minerals. smooth and nice session level.
