About

Westmalle Extra is the table beer traditionally kept by the monks of Westmalle Abbey for themselves and their guests. This pale ale, at just 4.8% ABV, delivers surprising depth of flavour. Brewed with water, barley malt and whole hop cones—Westmalle remains committed to cone hops rather than pellets, preserving delicate aromatic character. Fresh and fruity on the nose, with hoppy notes leading to a dry, bitter finish. Despite its modest alcohol content, the beer shows full-bodied flavour with distinctive Belgian yeast character. A refined, understated ale that demonstrates how authentic brewing and monastic tradition create something genuinely distinctive.
