This ale-type beer was created for PALM brewer Alfred Van Roy’s 90th birthday. The ultimate expression of his passion for the distinct fermentation fruitiness of his personally selected PALM yeasts. A real royal treat of a beer. Its appearance is copper-coloured, with a rich, white head which clings to the glass. The aroma is reminiscent of banana; the flavour has bite with a great deal of body. The beer is slightly sweet due to the alcohol, but is nevertheless somewhat bitter and fruity too. Re-fermentation gives the beer a pleasant, dry aftertaste.

Bottled(330ml). –Shared with Doggythedog at the Hopdevil in Zagreb, as Royal Legendary Belgian Ale
Golden coloured, medium white head. Taste starts with malty caramel, bready and turns into melon in the finish. Not so pleasant brew.

Bottle, as "Royal Legendary Belgian Ale" at the Hopdevil in Zagreb Guess this is it. The brewery can’t be found on the bottle (only some American company it’s apparently "brewed for"), but it’s Palm according to the menu. Pored a nice amber-orange colour with a medium sized white head that went at a medium pace. The nose was... blah, faint, sourish, slightly vinuous and cheesey. Shudder. The taste was nice compared to that... a bit original too. Starts of all melon like but that turns into berries in the finish. It’s bready too, and a hint of the yeast can be felt, some faint hops (of good quality) can be felt, a tad lemony. The taste is quite faint and mild though. If it was pronounced, it’d be great. The nose, however....

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured, small, but firm foamy layer; fruity (honey), bisquity and also alcoholic nose; light sweetish flavour with a little sourness; sweet-malty finish, becoming quickly drier towards the end, followed by a mild bitterness. Not bad, not exciting...................

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark golden - or light amber if you prefer - with a creamy, white head. Distinct caramel in both aroma and flavour with quite some malty sweetness and a rather warming alcohol. Bitterness is almost absent. A "Speciale" that’s a bit stronger than usual, but basically not very spectacular. 030905

Fruchtig und würzig riechend schießt es einem bei diesem Bier in die Nase. Vor dem Trinken fällt auch die Flasche ist, die sehr elegant aussieht. Sehr schön!Starker Antrunk und Nachgeschmack, bei dem man den Alkoholgehalt nur im Unterton bemerkt. Leicht herb ist dieses Bier auch, was allerdings auch eher untergeordnet ist. Alles in allem ein gutes belgisches Bier. Test vom 16.3.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,9,8,8,15,8 - 8,80

Blond clear body, lots of very small bubbles in the body. White quite homogeneous head. Hoppy wheat aroma. The flavour starts sweet bittery and ends bittery. Very soft flavour. Very long bittery aftertaste.

Beautiful gold color; nice perlage; big head. Bread aroma. Chewy body, a bit malty, but somehow cloying and missing a better hopping (aroma and bitterness).

Clear yellow, short head. Hoppy, bit sour malty aroma. Quite typical blond ale taste. Bit dry palate.
