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.

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

Sweet-smelling, herbal but not-fruity aroma with a golden-caramel color. Complex hop taste with a hint of clove, starting off sweet and mellowing out but never going bitter. A medium-bodied beer, slightly creamy with a beautiful gentle head. Excellent Belgian-style ale.

This is a nice Belgian golden strong ale. It is dark gold, a tad hazy, with a medium, off-white head that slowly shrinks to a lasting thin top that leaves some weak, foamy lacing. It is rather uncarbonated for the style. The aroma is very nice, raw, dried grain. pears, hints of pine sap, lemon, and bubblegum - similar to others of the style but very nice. The taste is wonderful, full-bodied fruitiness with a light spiciness, a nicely pungent light alcholic quality, a little grain, especially in the finish, and a hint of lemon. It’s kind of light, but tasty and zesty, with a slight fizzy quality.

Clove nose. Yellow color, thick vanishing head. Tastes of clove, sgar, and tin. Weak lemon grass finish. Poorly blended, underfermented. Not what I expected from North Coast.

12oz bottle from Tu Tango. Cloudy amber with strong honey and citrus aroma, almost like a double white. Taste is coriander, clove and lemon up front with some orange and yeast in the finish. Bit of a herbal lemon aftertaste that detracts. Overall very drinkable and solid.

Bottle pours a cloudy honey lemon color with a slim white head. Aroma is floral, yeast, and citrus. Flavor is full of spices and sweet fruit. Slightly dry finish with a touch of bitterness. Mouthfeel includes lots of tiny carbonation. Very smooth and drinkable. The 7.6% is well hidden.
