Attributes to be translated: Aroma, Appearance, Taste, Palate, Overall Languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Swedish, German, French, Italian, Dutch If you can help with any of these, please let me know, or simply post here! Much appreciated Joe

Not really. Perhaps "Kropp", meaning "Body", makes more sense.
Message fiulijn P beers 28358 º places 745 º 12:42 Mon 8/7/2017 Julien, wouldn’t something like "Finale" be more appropriate for Palate? Or "Arriere-goût" (sorry, missing accents on my keyboard).

Message Maakun beers 10309 º places 319 º 12:59 Mon 8/7/2017 I can do Dutch if you fix the login issue first. :-)
Message SinH4 P beers 15470 º places 416 º 13:04 Mon 8/7/2017 German: Aroma: Aroma Appearance: Aussehen Taste: Geschmack Palate: "Gaumen" is probably the best choice, although "Mundgefühl" (mouthfeel), "Textur" (texture), "Abgang" (the flavour a beverage has towards the end, while and after swallowing) would probably also work. For me, I mostly interpret palate as a combination of these vocabularies. Overall: "Gesamteindruck" or just "Gesamt".

Or "Arriere-goût" (sorry, missing accents on my keyboard). I agree that Finale or Arrière-goût are classics on French tasting forms but both still refer to taste and I don’t think they convey what we’re looking for under Palate on ratebeer which would actually be texture of the beer (carbonation and body) (joet to confirm?). I would also suggest Bouche as a possible translation (literally mouth, but can mean mouthfeel in context). Maybe that’s better?
