The “Spéciale Belge Ale” beer style is one of the better Belgian beers of the early 20th century. This smooth-drinking, amber-coloured, top-fermentation beer has a reasonable alcohol content. Special Palm malts are responsible for its honey-like mellowness, and Palm’s own selected yeasts give it a fruity yeast aroma. Fine aroma hops from Kent afford a subtle harmony.
Unique amber-coloured malts determine the basic flavour of Palm: mild caramel flavours with a honey-like mellowness. The malting process adheres to Palms specific instructions, which aim for the natural caramelisation that gives the beer its specific flavour.

Karamell in Nase und Trunk, hinten recht schwach, aber durchaus trinkbar. Aus der Dose, spontan mitgenommen, geht schon.

500ml can. Pours clear amber with a tall white head. Aroma is caramel, unpleasant phenols, berries. Taste is medium sweet, yeasty, caramel, malty. Light bitter finish. So-so.

Barwa bursztynowa, niemal klarowne, piana biała, dość obfita, dosyć trwała. W aromacie słodowe, lekko chlebowe, lekko estrowe. W smaku słodowe, estry belgijskie, trochę chlebowości. Goryczka niska do średniej, wysycenie i ciało w normie. Typowy zwykły Belg.

Clear amber beer with a nice white head. Flavour is a bit zesty and hoppy but there's not a lot else to it. A slightly sweet aftertaste but it's a little bland. Not unpleasant though.

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Whole Foods, Piccadilly. And I believe also on tap at the Spoons in Camberley back in the day?
