Brouwerij Palm NV Palm Speciale Belgian Pale Ale at 5.4% ABV (C$3.90 at Liquor Crossing Red Deer, 500 ml, best before 29-Mar-2015)
Pours clear pale gold with one fat finger of rocky white head diminishing gradually to a thin cap, moderate lacing. (4/5) Nose is bready caramel malt, apples and stone fruit, grassy hops. (5/10) Taste is moderate sweet, mild bitter. (4/10) Light to medium bodied, moderate to low carbonation, lingering bitter finish. (2/5)
Is it a requirement that all beers called “Special”, suck? (9/20)
My 148th from the 2010 Edition (retired from the 2013 edition), and 158th combining both editions.
