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.

Aroma has a slight astringency with light typical Belgian scents. Flavor is reminiscent of Leffe Blond but weaker, lighter, and lacking complexity.

?!?! Yuck, I can’t believe this came from North Coast. Was expecting good things from a N.C. Belgian, this was horrible. I should mention that I like this brewery and Belgian Strong Ales. Maybe I got a bad batch...

Pours a bright cloudy orange with a very thin film of soapy head. Lots of citrus in the odor. Really soft initial taste, that builds into taste of berries, banana, and orange, with a slight hop bitterness to the aftertaste. Pretty good.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy to murky orange wiht a diminished light orange/white head. Mild fruity and yeasty aroma. Yeasty sweet berry fruit is the first flavour impression. Flavour continues the same way slowly building up more yeast presence and a more distinct orange fruity flavour. Holds medium dry hops note into a light bitter finish.

On tap at Hopyard in Pleasanton with AgentSteve. I remember liking this beer and trying it several times many years ago. I even tried it on tap at North Coast brewery. Great times. Wow. Really delicious again. Cloudy yellow amber color. I really like it when a beer is cloudy. Leans sweet. Some yeasty banana aroma. Very good. Yum!

Guest tap at Blue Mountain Brewery in Afton, VA. Peach color with good lacing. Aroma of pear, apple, tropical fruits, cotton candy. Yeasty taste with tropical fruits and a sort of subtle bitter funk.

pours orange, with small white head. The aroma is very fruity, sort of citrus with bananas, the flavor although comes through a little strong for me, with comparing it to belgian strong ales it is not as smooth as i would like it to be but it is still a good ale.

White head that disappears quickly. Amber color with lots of bubbles. Smells spicey with a fruity finish. Great Stuff. I could drink this any day. Very refreshing.
