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 dark yellow with a decent white head. Aroma was citrus, esters, banana, and spices. The flavor backed up the aroma perfectly. Great carbonation. The alcohol was not in the forefront. This is a great brew. Get in my belly!!

bottle into glass. decent lacy head, nice light color. smell herbs and hops faintly. taste is immediately bitter throughout the mouth, light on wheat and spice, heavy on the hoppiness. but not real flavorful. some apple and citrus. taste disappeears pretty quickly. not my thing, but if you like your beer on the hoppy side, this is a good choice.

From bottle. Aroma of spice and herbs. Lively carb, thin white head. Slightly cloudy golden colour. Flavour of oranges, spice and herbs. Tangy bitter finish. Hard for me to comment on this style as not really a fan of it. Not bad

Hazed dark gold, off white fizzy head. Spiced pear aromas warm to notes of honey caramel coated orange peel. Candied spiced citrus and yeasty pear notes balance on a kiss of hops in the end. Medium bodied, soft carbonation spiced fruity finish. A very nice take on the style...

Cloudy light yellowish - amber color with white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is caramel and malts. Flavor is definitely yeasty and full of Belgian character. Has a lot of spiciness and a full mouthfeel. Liked it.

On draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a hazy straw color, with tons of fluffy white head. Gorgeous lacing remains on the tulip glass. Aroma is fairly spicy for a Belgian-style. Features that Belgian yeast, clove, banana. Some good wheat-qualities. Good malt profile on the tongue. Flavors of clove, wheat, and an interesting pilsener quality. Easy drinking, thin bodied. Watery finish. Enjoyable.

Hazy yellow color, small white head. Fruity, melony aroma with hints of yeast. Fruity, yeasty flavor, very Belgian - mango, strawberry, pale chewy malts, a bit wheaty with banana notes. Balanced and tasty.

Clear copper yellow in color with a decent white head. Funky dough smell. Taste is kinda sad and bland. Thin on the palate. Just blah overall. Nothing special or notable about it. In other words, forgettable.
