Palim Palim is the onomatopoeic description of a sound that has long been forgotten. There used to be a general store in every small town, often called a corner shop. These small shops sold a diverse range of everyday items. Anyone who wanted to buy apples, pencils or a mop went to Aunt Emma and was 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 in the memory of Germans forever.
The Hamburg guys from the ÜberQuell brewery have nothing to do with colonial goods or cabaret, but they found the name so resonant that they immediately thought of a beer to go with it. Palim Palim from ÜberQuell is a pale ale that impresses with an extraordinary taste pairing: fresh citrus fruit meets creamy caramel!
Palim Palim presents itself in a tempting, slightly cloudy amber tone in the glass and exudes a wonderful potpourri of scents as soon as you pour it. Buttery, sweet popcorn meets refreshing citrus fruits and a subtly bitter, playful floral hop note. The initial taste follows the first impression and reveals a medium-weight body with gentle carbonation. On the tongue, fresh, juicy lemons meet tart grapefruit, buttered caramel popcorn and a hint of sun-ripened orange.
ÜberQuells Palim Palim Pale Ale is a harmonious ale that is so delicately composed and elegantly balanced that it could without a doubt come from England, the home of ales.
