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.

TheBeerBaron (261) - Florida, USA - SEP 25, 2011
Pours a clear tan and red color with a rather small murky head for a Belgium beer. That small foam does lace well in the glass during the duration. A wheat smell sits over honey and butter aromas. Primarily a malt smell and no impressive hops noticed on the aroma. The taste shows a more balanced mix of rich malt and clean hops. The palate is somewhat thick and soapy. Overall the flavorful ingredients make a quality tasting ale but it falls short of its lofty Belgium pedigree.

JDBaker11058 (616) - Maryland, USA - SEP 21, 2011
Appearance: clear coppery amber, short fizzy off-white head, decent lacing. Aroma: toasty, nutty malts, bit of musty metallic hops. Taste: toast, caramel/toffee, but of roasted nuts and crackers, mellow earthy hops. Finish: crisp, toasty, slight bitterness, quickly over. Notes: Very much like a toasted lager which, when well-done, is a great beer. This was pretty good for a clearly macro beer.

Thanks Vanessa.Clean pale amber pour with one finger of offwhite head. Nose is meh, some acetaldehyde, mild ester character and grass. Flavor is blah, off malt and leafy hops. Low carb and medium body.

in taster at BJs. Looks deep yellow and very clear. White head. Smells like Belgian yeast with white pale malts. Very mouth front. Tastes like a full bodied pale lager. Weird but thats exactly what it tasted like. Overall 5.5 of 10.
