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.

(Draught at Dovetail, Farringdon, London, 4 Aug 2008) Amber colour with lasting, frothy, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dark fruit, grain, wild berries and yeast. Malty taste with dark fruit, mandarin and yeast. Soft and smooth mouthfeel. Solid and quite tasty but hardly exciting.

This used to be one of my favourite beers, but that was before I knew of all the other good stuff. Amber beer, white head. Aroma of caramel, malts. Flavour is soft caramel, sweet malts, a slight metallic taste, hops. Dry and soft mouthfeel.

Certainly not my favorite Belgian or my favorite brown ... more of an amber colored light tasting light mouthfeel brew. Beautiful amber with a foamy white head. Saved by an interesting nutty fruity back story that I did not anticipate.

330ml bottle and 2 glasses on draft @ paddy’s pub, Doetinchem. This beer has a very good aroma and a nice colour (dark golden). the beer just looks very nice. the taste is ok but it has a strange fiinish/aftertaste. could be better. expected more from this. good replacement for when you don’t want to drink a pale lager/pilsner. maybe going to drink it again.

A bland Belgian beer, which comes as a surprise by Belgian standards. A bit fruity, not much though. If anything, a thirst quencher - at a push.

On tap. Pours hazy amber with a long lasting white head. Fruity and malty aroma. Flavour is the same. Palate is pretty watery.

Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. This beer is a clear orange-ish color with a medium thin and creamy off-white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. The aroma is fruity and spicy. Medium-bodied with a soft mouthfeel and flavors of tart fruit and spices. Touches of yeast as well. The finish is mildly spicy and short. Slightly below average overall.

Draft @ BXL between 6th and 7th ave. Pours dark amber pretty clear, with white head. The aroma is pretty light - some sweet notes. The taste is smooth and not really dry finishing as the menu description suggested. Not bad. Listed at 6% abv on the menu as well.
