Palm Speciale

Brewed by Brouwerij Palm
Style: Belgian Ale
Steenhuffel, Belgium

Reddish golden with a fizzy white head. Faint Belgian yeast aroma. Crisp bready taste with some fruity notes and a grainy finish.

Bottle that I picked up from somewhere, somehow in summertime, to quote a Simple Minds lyric (coz I think I got it last summer) Pours amber with large white head and a steady persistent rising of bubbles. Started off a bit malty but finishes with some bitterness, it’s a bit mellow, safe and thin, ok.

02/03 I believe this is what I had, as the label was different. 0.33 l bottle, which poured copper body with bigger brownish head. Aroma was of caramel and brown sugar, with some yeast; pretty simple yet pleasant. Flavor...nasty, a bit metallic, rotten vegetables...I don’t know what to say, really dubbed would I rate it at all, but here it is, and I will surely rerate this as it is very likely to be spoilt bottle.

Bottle 30CL, nice amber color.caramel, hazy, frothy, medium body, thin feel, lively, bitter,

Smallish white head. Light amber body. Sweetish caramelly aroma with notes of straw, very faint. Sweetish straw and malts taste with faint fruity notes. A bit fruitier and warmer than a lager, but really quite similar. Some catty, rubbery notes. Aftertaste is dry and wooden without much news. Some chalkiness. It’s all right, but a bit boring. (0.33l bottle at Cardinal.)

Pours amber-red with a thin, grayish head. Faint malt aroma with fairly decent mouth feel. Carmel, fruity flavor, although somewhat weak. Not bad, but not great either.

33cl bottle: clear golden amber with off-white foam. Aroma of malt, carmel and a little skunk. Weak flavors of malt, caramel, and... uh yeah thats about it.

Bottle. Dark golden colour with a beige head. Aroma is malt, caramel. Flavour is caramel, sweet, malt, hint of hop, fruit. ordinary beer, could be more.
