On tap. Pours a dull amber with moderate foamy head. Aromas of banana, floral esters, a bit of coriander and soft wheaty malts. Flavors follow same. Definely get the blend of the Triple and Extra. It’s a thinner version of the Triple IMHO. Lower alcohol and cost savings?

Fresh Draught @ Delaneys, Odense. Pours cloudy Golden Yellow with a creamy head. Esters , a touch of banana bread and green and herbal hops with a nice bitter finish. It was what I hoped for. Reminding me to drink Westy blond more often. 4.2. Super.

Westmalle extra es una Patersbier rubia, de color dorado pálido, velada, y espuma blanca esponjosa de media retencion. Aroma a levadura belga, fruta de hueso y toques terrosos y especiados. En boca entra ligera, fina y chispeante, sorprende la cantidad de sabor y matices que tiene para lo ligera que es. Equilibrio perfecto entre su base maltosa y dulce y el final moderadamente amargo, seco y especiado. Cerveza ligera y fácil de beber pero con un alto nivel de calidad, textura y sabor, disfrute altísimo en un trago fácil.

Bottle, 2024 vintage. Caramel malt aroma with notes of dark fruit, toffee, Candi sugar, banana, clove, spicy Belgian yeast and herbal notes. Pours deep brown with a finger of tan head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with caramel, dark fruit, banana and Candi sugar flavors as well as having a rich, full body and smooth mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with toffee, clove, spicy Belgian yeast and herbal flavors. Excellent dubbel.
