Westmalle Extra is the table beer served to the monks and their guests and is brewed with water, barley malt and hop cones. The Westmalle Dubbel and Tripel yeast is also used for this beer. Westmalle Extra is also top-fermented but it is considerably lighter, at 4.8%, alcohol-by-volume than its brother brews. It has the characteristic Westmalle aroma with hops coming through in the finish. It is a real thirst-quencher.

De goudblonde Extra wordt slechts tweemaal per jaar gebrouwen en is alleen bedoeld voor intern gebruik. Dit bier drinken de monniken en hun gasten immers enkel bij het middagmaal. Typisch voor de Extra is dat hij alleen met water, gerstemout en hopbellen wordt gebrouwen. Hij deelt zijn gist met de Dubbel en Tripel en is dus ook een bier van hoge gisting, al bevat hij maar 4,8% alcohol. Het aroma is typisch Westmalle en het hoppige karakter zorgt voor een dorstlessende droge afdronk.

Bottle. Gold with a dense blanket of white head. Yeasty, spicy and grassy aroma with some crackers and stone fruit. Dryish and more crackery than fruity with a moderately bitter and spicy finish. Refreshing.

Bottle from HavnensVin&Tobak. Pours hazy straw yellow with large white head. Aroma is malt, grain, cereal and grassy hops. Taste is light to medium sweet, light bitter and faint acidic. Body is light oily with fizzy carbonation. Finish is medium long and balanced sweet and bitter with notes of grain, malt, grass, dried flowers and spice (cloves, nutmeg). Very pilsner-like but more hoppy and clear notes trappist yeast.
