Extra 4 is the latest scion of the notable St. Bernardus family. A refreshing blond beer that is brewed in the classic single style. Every year, our Extra 4 can be enjoyed in spring and summer. Extra 4 shines with the golden hue of pale straw, topped off with a snowy-white collar. As this beer re-ferments in the bottle, it produces a lovely fizz in the glass. EBC 9.

Bottle drunk after blendering up my fermented hot sauce, which is delicious. Light straw color with mild haze and a medium head. Ripe malty grain nose with hints of aromatic yeast and a bit of citrus. Straightforward flavor, nothing too complex but nicely rounded from light yeasty funk through barley malt and landing on earthy bitterness.

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a medium sized foamy white head and good lacing. Coriander is the mainstay of the aroma, plus lemongrass, yeast and some hints of citrus. In the mouth it starts off sweet with yeast, cloves and spices. After a while some bitter hops come through plus coriander and traces of citrus. Fairly high carbonation too. Bitterness lasts into the slightly harsh finish. This is nice – the hoppiness makes it stand out.

33cl bottle - Pours a lightly hazed pale gold colour with a large, mostly lasting, foamy white head. The aroma is light grainy malts, straw, lemon and floral hop notes. A moderately sweet taste, light sweet cereals, bready malts, lemon, straw and yeasty flavours with a crisp and drying light bitter finish. Well made, easy drinking.

330ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Hazy pale golden body, creamy white head, crocheted lacing. Floral nose, mid-dry, promising. Mixed taste of ripe lemon, Belgian yeast strain, and pale malts. Rounded ending, mid-dry. Drinks well. Just okay. (At Alf's place, Tromsø 19.01.2024)

Bottle @ home. Almost clear pale golden body under a huge, creamy white head. Aroma has pale malt, white sugar, esters and a slightly spicy yest touch. Taste like aroma, pale malt, white sugar, esters, spicy yeast, low bitterness and some floral touch. Medium body with moderate aftertaste. Quite straight forward, not very exciting.
