St. Bernardus Extra 4 is a refreshing blond beer, brewed in the classic single style. It can be enjoyed every year during spring and summer. Extra 4 has a golden hue, similar to pale straw, and is topped off with a snowy-white collar. As this beer re-ferments in the bottle, it creates a lovely fizz in the glass.
The sweet fragrance of malt is nicely complemented by a wide range of refreshing, zesty, and floral touches, including citrus and cloves, with a hint of pepper. This taste bouquet is perfectly balanced by the refined aroma of hops, without suffering from an overload of bitterness. The finish is slightly dry and, towards the end, is accompanied by a fruity touch of citrus. All in all, this pairs up to make the ultimate thirst-quencher. The modest 4.8% alcohol volume ensures that this beer is a refresher, first and foremost. In brief, this is a unique, reinvigorating, and thirst-quenching beer that is perfect for spring.
This beer is not too full in the mouth, so it can be served as a refreshing companion for zesty Provençal cuisine and grilled meats. It is the perfect thirst-quencher and also eminently suitable as an aperitif.
