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.

11.2 oz bottle poured, from Special Brews. Bottled 11/24/22, best by same date this year. Can't believe it took this long to pour this one and try it. Cloudy but bright peachy golden pour. Patchy active fizz head. Aroma is dense with spicy, floral notes. Flavor has lots of floral and spicy character as well, with some herbal notes, and a nice cooling Belgian yeast follow. Spicy note hangs on late into the palate. Slight lemon peel. Refreshing and crisp, with a dry side. Everything about this brew is interesting. Love this.

Can't believe I've never got my hands on one of these. Farmhouse hay and a touch of lemon. Some pepper. Super easy drinking. Golden pour with decent head. Crisp finish. Bottle.

330ml bottle from Brewers Haven. Big gush on opening, never stopping foamy, I think maybe I got about half a bottles worth to sample. Golden pour with silky white head. Aroma and taste seem a bit oxidized. Musty, old grains, very little Belgian yeast presence. Disappointed.

33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange blood, partially hazy, with very fine white foam, stable. Aroma is grainy, a little honey and cinnamon, biscuit. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is medium sweet. Final is rather dry and clean.

Bottle via Drinkshop. Easy drinking, rather thin body and high carbonation. Medium bitterness, light sweetness. Moderate grassy herbal hoppiness, light Belgiany spiciness. Overall good.
