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.

On tap. Large, foamy an dpillowy head with a clean golden red body. The smell is indistinctive, with hops and other damp aromas, but nothing clearly emerging. A sweet, round and velvety taste with some bitter notes.

Amsterdam - Pours an amber brown, this one has a strong caramel/corn syrup nose. I don’t know it reminded me of some bad malt I had once. It isn’t as bad in taste and is strange but not bad at all.

brown and almost no head, just little laces in the glass. Aroma is very weak, mostly malt and some grain. Taste is VERY carbonated, not much else to it ... forgetten after I finish the glass

Bottled (BB 04/2006)
Copper brown color, small off-white head. Aroma has caramel, corn, skunked grassy hops and barnyard. Medium-bodied, soft palate. Malty with yeast sweetness. Some bitterness in the finish. Quite uninteresting Belgium.

Bottle. Thanks to gonzobeer. Light clear brown color with no head at all. Corn aroma. Taste of malt caramel. Watery texture. Very thin for a belgian ale, not much taste. Bière d’un brun clair et pale avec aucun collet. Gout de malt caramel avec une texture acqueuse. Manque de corps et de gout, très ordinaire.
