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.

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...

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.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange color with a white head. Does leave some lacing on the side of the glass. Aroma is fruit, spice, and alcohol. Taste is yeast and alcohol. This is a decent beer, but nothing to special

12 oz bottle purchased at Julio’s Liquor’s in Mass. Pours a hazy orange color with a 1/2" off white head. Small rings of lacing coat the glass. Nose is yeasty and spicey. Mouthfeel is slightly bubbly. Not heavy, but not thin either. Taste is Belgian yeast, cloves & citrus.

Bottled@Chris O Post GBBF Tasting. Amber colour, white small head. Aroma is alcohol, spices, hops and some caramel. Flavour is quite much the same along with mild yeastyness. OK, but still quite basic BSA.

Four 12oz bottles purchased for something like $9.75 from local liquor store Pours a cloudy light gold with tons of bubbles and a bit of head. Nice yeasty aroma. First taste follows the aroma - all yeast with a slight spiciness as it goes down. Tripel-like. Not overly complex or exciting - or perhaps I burned out after a rash of similar-tasting tripels.
