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.

On tap @Radisson Blu in Amsterdam. Amber light and clear pour with an off-white tick foam. Nose: a bit earthy but regular I would say, much caramel. Mouth: simple again, caramel, roast, a bit metallic aftertaste.

Pours clear amber with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Taste has mild hop and yeast notes. Earthy malt palate, hints of citrus on the tongue. Refreshing.
