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 is burnt toast soaked in sour honey nose. Large, thick head, reddish orange/gold color. Lemon honey funk sweetness, bitterness is decent. Highly carbonated, long finish, last part hits a on the bitter side. Not a delicate beer in composition, but nice.

Tap. Pours with a hazy, dark yellow color. Not much of a head on this one. Aromas of fruit, mainly lemon and orange. Flavors exhibit some yeatsiness, but mainly tart citrus. A bit of alcoholic harshness in the finish.

Pours a dark amber with no head. Aroma is mostly fruits, and bit of yeasty biscuit. Flavor has a bit of spice, dried fruit, raisin, and is well balanced. Palate is med body and slightly fizzy. This one surprised me...its a very good Belgian ale, will certainly try it again.

Bottled. Few years old. Thanks to hammenlind. Amber colour, with diminishing head, due to a few years of storing. Big aroma from overripe prune and tidbits along with spicy, phenolic yeast, eventually from Unibroue. Very rounded mouthfeel, with Belgian yeast spiciness and tidbits. Bit one-dimensional but what the heck.

A good easy drinking Belgian blonde strong ale that I would compare to Duvel. It’s about as easy drinking as Belgians get and the only downfall is a slight metallic aftertaste.

2008 Bottle - Pours golden with a little head, fruity aroma with yeast and spice notes...coriander, clove and cinnamon spice dominate, and the alcohol is pleasantly subtly...very, very good...

Yellow to amber color. No head ..but a pleasant clean taste. Equal malt and hops taste.. no overbearing taste. It is almost like they made a very strong beer and reduced everything until it was even.

Smells a little like a flower and has a cloudy orange color to it as well. Nice formed body with a little bittering added to the mix. Goes real good with a meal as I had this with mine. Will more than likely get this again
