I tasted my sample, and it tasted like a Belgian Trippel. Is that normal for still-fermenting beer? (Again, it's an American Pale Ale)

If you didn't control the temperature during the fermentation you probably got some fusel alcohol which will make your beer seem like it has a lot of alcohol in it.

I held the beer at 20 degrees Celsius using a thermowell and an STC-1000.
 
Danstar West Coast Ale Yeast pitched to Midwest Supplies Single Malt and Single Hop Ale recipe.
