Beers similar to St.Bernardus Extra 4

Belgian Pale Ale·Belgium·4.8% ABV·One of 44 Belgian Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share St.Bernardus Extra 4's malty and citrusy character. A pale golden enkel that returns every spring and summer, refermented in the bottle for a fine sparkle under a snow-white head. Sweet malt on the nose is joined by citrus, clove, a touch of pepper and floral notes. The hop taste is refined and not dominantly bitter; the finish is lightly dry with a fruity citrus note at the end.
