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.

Bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pretty much your standard amber Ale. Toasted malts with a light hop presence, not much else.

11.2 ounce bottle in pint glass. Copper reddish with nice head and a little lace. Toffee yeasty aroma. Toffee flavor with very mild melon fruitiness and a brainy bready finish. Medium-light body and medium carbo. Pretty good for a session amber. This is what Fat Tire copies.

On tap. Clear light amber color with a super short white head. The aroma had a touch of yeast, sweet caramel malts and some light citrus. The flavor was sweet caramel malt a light touch of yeast and some citrus. Light bodied, went down easy and was actually a decent pairing with my ribs.

Had this on tab in The Grill Roissy village, it pours clear copper color with a thin white head. Taste very light and smooth, with a little bitter sweet after taste and some vegetable notes. Very light carbonation. I find this to be a very light amber beer, and easy to drink.

Bottle 30cl. Pours a clear brown, reddish, colour with a small size head and loads of carbonation. Smell is rather wheaty and seems to be rather vague to me, not the typical belgian ale. Taste isn’t very much to my liking, yeasty bready flavour to it.

Tap. Totally strange for a Belgian ... sweet bready ale. Seemed a belgian-yeasted american dark ale.

Shared this with oldrtybastrd as many others have also been drank. This poured yellow and had a spicey aroma and some sweet tastes before the grain.

Bottle from Valley Farm Market. Very light amber color. Has almost a pinkish hue. Aroma is grainy with some breadiness. Flavor is malty with more bread. Fairly bland and watery. Pretty poor excuse for a Belgian.
