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. There was nothing to like about this. Just really malty and sweet. Flat sweet caramel and grain. Not very good at all.

Not bad for what it is. For the price, this is a decent everyday drink. Think of it as bread. It’s not something special from that amazing bakery, but it’s tasty and dosen’t offend. Nice copper color, tastes a bit of the can, nice amount of bitter with a sweetish finish.

Bright amber hue, roasted malt and malted grains of buckwheat aromas, follow through on a light-bodied palate, clean malty flavors and an hint of acidity on the finish within malted roundness

Bottled. Clear amber colour, medium frothy head. Malty, slightly caramelly aroma. Malty, caramelly taste with a slightly hoppy finish. A bit boring and a tad watery.

Poured into a tulip glass while in Groening, Netherlands. Was at a cool little pub named Luedwig. Poured a nice copper-colour with a fluffy cream head. Lots of lacing. Slightly hoppy at first with a semi-smooth caramel finish. overall kind of thin in complexity and taste. It was an easy drink and so I followed up with a Duvel afterwards to get the brain stirring.

Amber in colour. Fairly creamy white head. Sloppy. Thin. Taste of metal in aftertaste. Dry finish.

Copper colour with inch-thick foam. Toasty yeast note overtop of caramel and light grassy hops in the aroma. Switch places and the caramel leads the toast around the palate. Moderate bitterness and spritzy carbonation tempers the caramel’s potentially cloying influence. Finishes off-dry, mainly yeasty. Well-made, but due to its subtleness (not lightness) it is perhaps not as good as the sum of its parts.
