PALM Hop Select is a complex yet balanced top-fermentation connoisseurs’ beer with a reasonable alcohol content. Its specific hop aroma comes from the aromatic Hallertau Mittelfrüh hop variety. The carefully selected PALM yeast gives this beer its banana-like fruitiness, and the special PALM malts provide its subtle touch of caramel. Bottle conditioning ensures fine sparkling and an excellent shelf-life. PALM Hop Select undergoes hopping in three stages. An initial hopping at the start of the boiling process ensures the bitter flavour. The specific hop aroma comes from the Hallertau Mittelfrüh. This aromatic hop variety is added as a second hopping at the end of boiling and as a third hopping during dry hopping (end of fermentation), when Hallertau Mittelfrüh from our own hop field is used.

Head is quite long. A bit of hop aroma, but dosen't taste hoppy. Body is light. Quite an average beer.

Golden to copper colored, clear, low to medium off white head, nice lacing. Aroma is a fruity mix in the background with some hoppy herbal and citrus notes and hints of dryhopping. Taste is medium sweet malt, caramel, fruits, bit of metal as well, low+ grassy and bit citrus bitterness. Light to medium bodied and carbonation. Not as hoppy as one would hope, but I’ve seen the hop field next to the brewery and it is pretty small so not really surprised. (on tap, ’t Brouwershuis, Steenhuffel, B)

Keg at the Rootz Bar, Den Haag. Bright clear amber beer, small cream colour head. Palate smooth but peppered with fine carbonation. Mildly tangy malts, slightly fruity caramel. Decent spicy floralness. Tangy generic fruits and a whisper of hop skunk. Smooth semi dry finish. Interesting little number that went down well enough.

F: white frothy, quite long lasting. C: almost orange gold, hazy, opaque. A: nice malt and hoppy. T: malty, some caramel, white sugar, on the palate decent bitterness with grassy and a hint of citrusy tones, more than average Belgian ale, but not great one.

clear golden colour, moderate sized dense white head; aroma of honey, floral and earthy notes, maybe some fruitiness; taste of grains, hints of honey, yeast and sourish notes; not the best Belgian ale I’ve tasted, but still drinkable
