Palm Royale

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Somewhat hazy, light orange and white head. Dried apricots, pilsner yeast, ocean and dead hops. Light bitter taste, accessible. Quite dry. Aftertaste is really too short and boring. No complexity here and quite bland, but it’s not bad. Was offered as Christmas beer here, strangely. (33cl bottle, very cheap)

Cerveja laranja bem agradável. Teor alcoolico e espuma bem inseridas, com um sabor bem equilibrado, meio cítrico e doce. Vale a pena dependendo do custo.

33cl bottle. Orangish beer with an off-white and quickly diminishing but creamy head. Aroma is sweet, malty, moderate spicy. Flavour is sweet at the beginning with hints of caramel, plumbcake and syrup. The aftertaste is long and sweet on the nose. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium to high. Texture is oily.

Dark golden colour, a bit hazy. Big white head. Aroma is yeasty and hoppy with sweet malty notes. Alcoholic sweetness in the taste, mostly malt and some sugar. Fine Belgian brew, not more not less.

Completely forgot about this beer. Palm is not my favorite beer at all, but with just a little bit more taste this beer beats (imo) the regular Palm. Still quite boring.

Bottle. Light amber colour with a firm white head. Malty, light citrus with alcoholic aroma. Sweet flavour, followed by some alcohol. Nothing special going on here.

Original rating : april 2005

head: creamy , off white
Colour: amber
Smell: malts, hops, bitter, sweet
taste: start is sweet and candy sirup, then comes a malty bitterness , that ends with a caramel like taste, not that bad actually ...

Amber-yellow with no bubbels and a very big collar. Sad and musty smell. Ale is not my style, but this one is not as bad as I have had.
