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.

330ml bottle. Clear, orangey golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Minimally grassy hop aroma, a touch of "Sauerkraut". Taste is grassy hoppy, minimally tart, a touch of "Sauerkraut" again, pale malty note with subtle sweetness. Meh!

Golden with medium head. Mango, lychee, green apple, very fruity but it fades fast. Lots of pilsner like malts. Some candy sweetness with a little bitter kick. Quite fizzy. Smells better than it tastes, but nice refreshing beer. Update: from tap. Quite the same, but looks nicer.

Bottled 33 cl as Palm Hop Select, BB 11/07/15, large sample. Clear deep golden color, big frothy off-white head. Aroma of crispy grainy malt, hops are slight spicy, slight grassy and bit earthy, hint of pear, slight spicy yeast. Pretty ok actually. Bit sweet taste, slight bitter, bit dry. Nothing spectacular, but it’s actually quite ok.

Pours clear golden with a smooth head. Aroma of stingy grassy notes, spices, hints of bready malts and yeast. Taste is stingy, malty and metallic with hints of bread and yeast. Finish is bitter, sweetish and stingy with grassy notes. A bit unbalanced and messy.
