Palm is a feisty little ale from Steenhuffel, Belgium. It's brewed by Palm Breweries and it clocks in at 5.4%. It is a popular brew sold in green, 330mL bottles. Palm pours a rich red-gold colour. It is topped with a moderate amount of white head and has considerable carbonation.
This tasty brew has a misleadingly mild aroma of fruit (possibly apple?). The taste is quite full, with notes of crisp apple. There is a really nice balance between sweet and bitterness going on in this one. Palm is tangy and has a sweetish aftertaste that mingles malt, apple and pear.
Palm is a nice mild ale. Its slightly elevated alcohol content and "crunchy" apple flavour make it a frequent visitor to my refrigerator. And like a good guest, it seldom overstays its welcome. It'd take a bit more hops character to get this brew into the upper echelons of Western European ales, but despite that, it's still a fine mug o' suds.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
