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.

Hatalmas, hófehér, örökké tartó hab, kissé opálos, arany szín. Gabonás, malátás, kenyeres, kissé fűszeres illat. Malátás, gabonás, fűszeres, élesztős ízvilág. Könnyű, közepesen szénsavas, alig érezhetően kesernyés. Nagyon finom, frissítő, jó egyensúllyal rendelkező belgian ale.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso resta attratto dal fruttato. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido si presenta velato. Bollicine medio-fini costituiscono anche la forma del perlage, con carbonazione persistente. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la persistenza è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva . Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma è quello di miele, cracker, frutta secca, agrumi, spezie e lievito.

Bottle from Burg Bieren, Ermelo. Aroma is estery yeast with pale malt, fruity notes, hint of hops. More yeasty notes throughout. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Like a sessionable version of the Tripel with that typical estery Westmalle yeast.

Аромат немного пшеничный, легкие нотки от специй вроде кориандра, хотя может и кажется, не кончено много солода. Цвет обычный, мутно золотистый, пенка средняя. Вкус совершенно обычный, как не иронично но и хмелевой и солодовой в равной степени. Сначала более пшеничные мотивы, далее при глотке хмель с сухость легкой. Послевкусие легко пшеничное с хмелевой сухость но и солодовой и зерновой терпкостью. В целом обычный эль из Бельгии. Ничего плохого но и выдающегося.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy blond colored brew with an dry bitter taste and hints of lemon, sour apples and hoppiness. Nice this rare, but if you look good monastery beer.
