AboutQuell Palim Palim Pale Ale

Palim Palim is the onomatopoeic paraphrase of a sound that has long been forgotten. There used to be a general store, often called a corner store, in every village, no matter how small. These small stores sold a colorful mixture of everyday items. If you wanted to buy apples, pencils or a mop, you went to Tante Emma and were greeted by the cheerful "Palim, palim" of the doorbell. A legend of German cabaret took up this sound in a sketch and implanted Palim Palim forever in the memory of Germans.

The guys at the ÜberQuell brewery in Hamburg have nothing to do with colonial goods or cabaret, but thought the name sounded so good that they came up with a beer to go with it. Palim Palim from ÜberQuell is a pale ale that delights with an unusual pairing of flavors: citrus-fresh fruit meets creamy caramel!

Palim Palim presents itself in an enticing, slightly cloudy amber hue in the glass and exudes a wonderful aroma potpourri as soon as it is poured. Buttery, sweet popcorn meets refreshing citrus fruits and a subtly bitter, playfully floral hop note. The first taste follows on from the first impression and reveals a medium body with gentle carbonation. On the tongue, fresh, juicy lemons meet tart grapefruit, buttered caramel popcorn and a hint of sun-ripened orange.

ÜberQuell's Palim Palim Pale Ale is a harmonious ale that is so subtly composed and elegantly balanced that it could undoubtedly come from England, the home of ales.
