Still a bubbling

The Belgian is still actively fermenting!  I had read that Belgian yeast strains can take their time, but this is a little surprising.  The beer has now been bubbling for 9 days with no signs of stopping.  We are now 11 days post pitch and still showing signs of active fermentation.  It has slowed a bit, but in the carboy you can really see the action happen - pretty cool stuff!  The color is a nice orange-gold, really can't wait for this to finish up!  On another note, the pale is aging well. It is now very drinkable with a nice hop bite.  There is no discernible hop fragrance or flavor unfortunately, I must have added the last hops too early.  Still, turned out better than it started out so all in all I am happy with my first batch after a long layoff.
