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.

Bottle at home. Pale golden colour white head. Aroma is malts, fruits, tart. Flavour is sour, champagne like, also in carbonation. I didn´t like it at all, expected a lot more from this.

33 cl. bottle. Copper color with a two finger off-white head. Smells malty with a touch of light stone fruit. Full bodied with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is roasted caramel malt with fruit. Mouthfeel is a bit - I’ll borrow oily. A little too unbitter for my taste. It’s bordering on those things in 24 oz cans lying near the folks laying on the walk. It was Gordon and Gordon Platinum on the walk today.

330 ml bottle. Golden amber body with a medium white head. Aroma is mostly caramel malt. Flavor is sweet, caramel and spoiled a bit with a strong alcohol character. Promising aroma, but unbalanced with to much alcohol. Could fool me anytime as a malt liquor.

Bottle. Sour milk malt aroma. Amber with nice big head. Lightly sweet malt flavor with a moderate astringent alcohol finish. Fairly smooth - not much to make it stand out.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a little off-white head. Light herbal and caramel malt aroma. Flavour is light spiced, subdued caramel malt note and a lingering sweet fruit note. Herbal/grassy spiced and bitter flavour towards the finish. Mild fruity and bitter lingering finish. Spice flavour reappears in the far finish.

Bottled. Pours thick deep golden with creamy head. Sweet and fruity, soft and rounded, buttery and mild , medium-full bodied. A bit thick and syrupy. Despite it’s size it’s not very flavourful, and appears a bit bold.

Bottled. Goldenish amber colour with not much head. Aroma is malts, grass, some mild fruits and also some hints of caramel. Flavour is also quite much caramel along with some fruits and grassyness. Alcohol does give some glueish notes in the flavour. Aftertaste is slightly frutiy, quite earthy and some grassy notes. Very refreshing, even though it’s quite high ABV.
