An amber beer with a good head. The aroma is sweet, fruity, and malty. ANd the flavor is soft, sweet of a good maltblend, and slightly bitter. A really good beer.

UPDATED: JAN 8, 2006 (Bottle 25 cl) For my first "Palm" years ago I remember saying that it’s taste was pretty close to a brewery’s smell. But that was something to appreciate. Nice amber colour, the head disappears a bit fast for my liking. Yeasty, malty nose and some caramel notes well balanced with the hops. Very high drinkability. 060693

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a little creamy white head. Vague malt aroma. Flavour is mild yeasty to a solid caramel malt note. Light bitterness and herbal note. Light yeasty finish.

Amber coloured. Some toffee aroma. Fruity, sweet and malty, some late bitterness. Plain but very drinkable.

Draught. Copper coloured, big foamy head. Cranberry aroma with hoppy hints. Hoppy malty flavour with weak hints of fruit. Pretty boring for being Belgian...

Bottle as Palm Export. Clear golden coloured with a white head. Aroma of malts and fruits. Flavour of malts and fruits.

Bottle. Amber colour, white unstable head. Flavour is anonymous. A little bonbon, a hint of rye. Watery aftertaste. Easy to drink. You decide whether that is good or bad.
