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.

330ml bottle. Next to clear, golden body. Firm white head, laces well. Fruity smell of pear and lemon, mid-dry. Dusty hops, pear and sweet citrus followed by a little tart basement touch to the finish. Feels a bit thin in the mouth and on the swallow. Okay without further excitements (thanks to Yngwie, shared with other ratebeerians at Cunningham’s place, Halden 14.02.2014).

Frisch-hopfiger Geruch, leicht süßlich-hefig. Der Antrunk ist herb-hopfenaromatisch, frisch mit leichter Hefenote, die zum Hauptteil deutlicher wird und wunderbar mit der frischen Hopfenherbe harmoniert. Durch die Hefe schön mild, sehr frisch und recht deutlich herb. Der Nachgeschmack ist hefig-voll, sehr angenehm mild & deutlich herb. Die Herbe hält sich angenehm lang auf der Zunge.
--> ein klasse frisches, mild-herbes Bier, dass schon fast einem trüben Pils ähnelt. Alkoholnote oder Brotigkeit bei meinem Bier nicht zu schmecken! Bin sehr begeistert!! Leider bekommt man das Bier eigentlich nur Freitag morgens direkt ab Kloster...
Test vom 6.8.2010, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 12,13,13,13,12,14 - 13,25

From bottle at a tasting at Bar & Cigar. Slightly hazy pale golden with a white head. Mild fruity aroma with notes of Belgian yeast, malt and almonds. Light to medium body with slightly soft carbonation. Fairly mild in flavour, but not weak. Refreshing and easy drinkable. Far bettet than a pale lager.
