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, amber-brown with a large frothy head. A sweet malt aroma. Some lat flavour, smooth and easy to drink. Not really special when lined up against a lot fo Belgium beers, but deserves a good rating.

Kinda like Stella said Frank (Vanvelo) and he’s not far wrong (in a ’this ain’t no craft beer from Belgium’ way of course). Dark amber in colour with a thin but persistent head. Ok, fair start. Low excitement note with some ok amber ale style malt character; pleasant enough. Sweet gets dumb in the mouth and take a very simple, slightly gluggy form. Just very simple malt sweetness and not much else. Fizzy palate reminds one that this is maco beer.

The color was strong copper amber, and there was a medium creamy head. The aroma showed orange fruit and bitter hops. The start was sweetish with light malt and fruit, and there was a a medium bitter hop finish. This beer had fairly light simple flavours, but was fairly pleasant and clean.

This one comes as Palm Export. Dark golden, nice head and lacing. The aroma is malty and hoppy. The flavour is initially sweetish with notes of caramel, but then it moves towards more significant notes of roasted malt and fruit. The finish has a light bitterness. It’s easy to drink, and rather nice...
