Picked up at Marche Jovi last time I was there for a ridiculously low price like $4.50 a bomber. A 9% Belgian Strong Pale ale that all but 1% of BAers love.

Cooled in the basement sink, this beer is either burnished gold or aged pine but in any case sits under a fine white froth and rim. The aroma is sultana and yellow plum with a little jab of white pepper from the booze. In the mouth, all that as well as pear juice, stony mineral and cream. The body is medium-big with a good level of fruity sweetness. Good balanced spiced hopping that rises to cut the cloy and structures the finish.
