Commercial Description:
Belgian Ales represent the height of the brewers' art. Sophisticated brewing techniques, yeast blends and unique flavoring elements have elevated the beers of Belgium to the status enjoyed by wine in other countries. PranQster follows in this tradition using a mixed culture of antique yeast strains that results in a floral nose, a full fruity flavor and a clean finish.

pours cloudy, bubbly, yellow-orange with a small off-white head. smell - tingles the nose, yeast, a touch of citrus, grass, flowers. taste - tastes just about as it smells, lots of yeast, sour, malts, leaves the mouth on the dry side

Bottle from total wine. Pours a gold color with a fluffy white head. Lots of malt and yeast with a fair dose of hops on the nose. The flavor is not bad, but not amazing. Some yeast and malt hit you with some fruitiness as well.

I did not like this one at all! Horrible plastic flavor and a real struggle to finish. Yellow poor without any substantial hops or malt flavor. Might have been a bad batch. This tasted like my first homebrew.

12 oz bottle. Golden pour with a thick white head that lasts and lasts and lasts. Aroma of hops, yeast and malt. Peppery flavor with yeast and bananas present. Great finish.

Bottle. Cloudy, orange pour with little head. Aroma is very sweet with some hints of belgian yeast and spice. Similar flavor with a little funk, hops and slightly alcholic finish.

Pours a little hazy golden color in the glass with a big fat head, not a ton of retention though, but the decent lace makes up for this. The aroma has a light hop character and a little bit of sweet floral fragrance. The flavor is pretty good; it is simple enough to ’’throw one back’’ if you will. but there is enough going on here that it’s a bit of a thinker. There are some strong spicy flavors with some clove and a little lemongrass. There is a tad bit of tart sourness, just a little bit in the back of the mouth. A little bit of alcohol and a fruity but not too sweet flavor rounds it off. I don’t know why but it reminds me a little bit of an Americanized Duvel.

Very good attempt at the style. Nice aroma. Typical flavor. Nice and light makes it very drinkable. Not too heavy on the alcohol. Worth a try.
