Colmers makes a comeback!

Previous seasonal favourite, Colmers, is back with a twist! – Our current seasonal for Spring 2025.

Back in 2014, we brewed our very first seasonal ale – Colmers. Crafted with Citra hops, it quickly became a fan favourite, bringing a refreshing and crisp hoppy twist to every sip. The original recipe has been tweaked and improved to blend Palmers traditional brewing techniques with a more modern hop-forward style.

Colmers is a 4% deliciously hoppy, pale ale brewed with a blend of finest Maris Otter and Munich Malts. Perfectly balanced with the signature Citra aroma hop character that made the original so popular, but with a new depth, complexity, and extra hop!

We are extremely proud of the outcome and hope our customers enjoy this new style of beer as an addition to the Palmers range.
