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.

This one is a lot better than the last belgian golden ale that I poured down the drain. I finished this one.... good aromas of yeast fruits, some doughy must, appearance was a delight, golden clear body with lovely effers that clinged to the rim of the glass, flavors of dried golden fruits, green raisins and flowers, citrus, the whole works, decent quaffer.

Nice cloudy yellowish brown bubbling liquid. Strong wheat alky plowing taste bud affront. Dizzying billowing up the back of the throat. Appalling and oppressive. Difficult at times just like some bad uncivilized US trippels. Certainly a prankster. Not nearly as good as a real beljy. Overwhelming, uncivilized. Lasting lingering finish impressions.

Pours hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is very malty with light hits of citrus and bread. The taste is very malty with a great lingering of freshly baked bread and appricots. Good top shelf beer.

Poured a hazy orange color with a white head. Aroma is of spice, bread, malt, and citrus. Taste is of yeasty bread, malts, and citrus fruits. The fruit flavors linger on with a nice alcohol presence. The beer finishes with a sharp alcohol bite. Very tasty, and I could drink it again.

Bottle - Pours a fairly cloudy golden amber in color with a very small white head that fades quickly. Aroma is malty sweet with bready Belgian yeastiness and spicy, fruity, estery (peaches/apricots) goodness. Flavor lives up to the expectations. Lots of bready yeast, sweet malts, fruits and a finish that is more than slightly bitter and lingering. A little too much carbonation and a bit too thin. A good effort...

Orange golden color with small head. Nose of soft Belgian yeasts, spicy notes and apricots. Flavor is sweet with cloves, yeast and caramel. Nice beer.

A Mes rate: bottle at Chris O’s Post GBBF Tasting.
Amber gold with a thin white film topping. Old hoppy notes that are starting to give off an odd minty hint. Yeasty and spicy in true run of the mill Belgian style. Slight caramel and sweet alcohol with a fairly boozy finish. I’ve had MUCH better from North Coast.
