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.

33 cl can, bought in the Netherlands. Firm head, lovely amber colour. Round ale, fruity with a hint of sourness in the finish. Full taste, not a session beer. Nice.

Pours a light thin head that quickly disappears. Has a copper colour and light malty aroma. Feels very thin in the mouth, taste is quite fresh and clean with a slightly fruity finish.

(Bottle) Purchased at the BC Liquor Store in Fairfield (Victoria) for $2.75. Pours a thin, white head with a golden body. Nose of sweet malt with a fruitiness. Crisp flavour with a floral hops tongue and a slight bitter finish. A good beer to sit in the sun and drink.

Pours a strking medium amber. Spicy nose backed by sweet malts. Intensely fruity. Sweet maltiness carries through into flavour and palate giving a good balance with the bouqet. Low bitterness, could have used a bit more but not at all unpleasent. Could have used a bit more of that definitve Belgian clovy yeastiness for complexity. But still wonderfully drinkable as the session beer it was meant to be.
