Personally I like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. But a friend of mine sent me this commercial from Down under, I want to try it just because of the commercial!

That's the result of the "triple fermentation". We homebrewers do at least a double fermentation - once while brewing then once again in the bottle for the natural carbonation. I often add a second fermentation step in the carboy before bottling, so I also have a triple for those beers. My highest has come in around 9% as well, but that's by weight (determined by a specific gravity measurement) vs. the "by volume" values sometimes seen on American beers and the one in the picture. Most of the rest of the world uses the weight convention. FYI, the "by weight" value is about 80% of the "by volume" value, i.e., 9% by weight would be over 11% by volume. This is a place where truth in advertising would be appropriate. Neither is wrong, but one needs to understand the difference, not that there really is one. 9% or 11% - who cares? It will be really kick-ass stuff...!
BINGO - We have a winner...!! When you throw an ice cold beer into your hatch, your tongue is immediately NUMBED so you taste almost nothing! I too prefer beer at near room temp., like the Brits. That's when the true flavor and aroma are available. Try most American beers at that temp. and they taste like cr@p!
