Belgian Pale Ale as a style waned somewhat in the latter half of the last decade, but Jordan Harbour makes a case for its return. The nose features white pepper, floral notes and a touch of grapefruit, all of which butt heads with ripe banana and plummy esters from a Belgian yeast strain. The hops become woody and herbal on the palate but are bolstered by slight minerality and a vibrant carbonic attack. Slightly out of balance, but compelling.
