Bottle from a local supermarket. Aroma is pale malt with lightly floral-ish hop, grain, notes of citrus with a slightly metallic finish. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Body is light and watery. Drinkable, but not much of an IPA.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Clear amber coloured brew with an slightly dry bitter taste and everything is slightly with this beer. It's all there to make it good but it didn't come out.

Bottle from Pede. Amber colour, white foam. Medium carbonation. A bit mettalic, sweet malts, some pine, medium bitter finish. Rather weak.

Very good yellowish-rusty head, lacey, over clear copper beer, not very carbonated. Almondy nose, marzipan even, perfumey herbs, typical toasted/caramalt. Dry, even just a bit bitterish for a brief moment. Not sweet as the nose told. Finish are the lightly coloured malts with a firm Palm thumbprint. Soaked cookies, the sugars drained. Retronasal the almonds return. Aftertaste is simply absent; Light, feels better carbonated than it looks. It's not IPA, not even session. Whaddaya thought? It's watered down, less sugary, less caramelly Palm.

It was only a matter of time before Bavaria would begin tinkering with the old Belgian Palm brand after acquiring it, and with the Dutch craft beer market and the example of Moortgat's Vedett in mind, they came up with this session IPA version, so far only available on the Dutch market (which to me still seems a bit weird, considering it is a Belgian brand that I basically grew up with here in Belgium). Anyway: thick and frothy, intricately cobweb-lacing, eggshell-white, very stable head on a crystal clear, pure and deep orange-hued amber-blonde beer with enthusiastic sparkling throughout. Aroma of very faint dried orange peel, minerals, white bread dough, rubber, unsugared chewing gum, freshly ironed cotton cloth (that typical cooked smell of pasteurization - I hate it), vague notes of soggy toast, peanuts and wet white paper. Spritzy onset with the artificially added carbonation fizzing away, but very soft and near-neutral in actual flavour, vaguely sweetish with a background touch of unripe banana, light sourish edge from the carbonation, slick and lean body consisting of white-bready, cereally and very thinly peanutty maltiness, bubblegummy around the edges with a rubbery finish that - luckily - also adds a dash of floral hoppiness, but in a dull and just gently bittering way, even if faraway in the background, a whiff of bitter dried orange peel can indeed be found, lingering for a while in the throat. Palm had already become increasingly bland before the takeover by Bavaria and this is blandness continued; at best a kind of watery baby IPA for novices, like Vedett's session IPA, but feeling artificial and simplistic, with that annoying cooked cloth-like smell and flavour of pasteurization continuing all the way through. The bitterness is soft, though lingering a bit, and there is hardly any 'real' aromatic hop expression so I would not even consider this a true session IPA. One of the most superfluous and underwhelming beers I had in quite a while.

Yuck. Bottle at home from Albert Heijn in Huizen. Clear dark golden with big white head. Watery sweet malts with some floral hops, weak and cold tea, sickly nutshell aroma and gritty flinty bitter finish. Moderate sweet and bitter, under medium body and soft carbonation. Worty popcorn fleece tea with latex and WD-40 finish. Total crap. Like drinking old tea from a lubricated condom.

Pours clear, amberblonde. Smell is typical palm, caramelly, mild wort. Taste is wort-like, bit nutty, weak. Not hoppy at all, how is this a session IPA ???

Amberkleurig bier met stevige mooie schuimkraag. Smaak is bitter hoppig en licht fruitig met iets van thee en ietwat citrus. Is wel erg waterig.

33cl bottle from Albert Heijn. Thin white head. Clear golden pour. Light bitterness. Not a good example of the style.
