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.

Bottle that I have a feeling sat at the distributor for a bit (refrigerated) as it felt dusty. but that was a good thing. Poured dark amber in to two konings snifters. Very nice american "belgian" one of the best I’ve had. Not overly sweet, with a nice strong almost minty finish. Towards the bottom of my glass, I noticed a few drops left in the bottle and added them, the yeast really kicked up the flavor. Very enjoyable beer

Aroma of celerey, spiceness, coriander, piney hops and alcohol. Pours with a huge, frothy, yellow head with a slighly hazy golden body. Taste is a bit alcoholic with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation.

Unless one has that ilk, some belgian beer may have a somewhat "acquired" taste or nose when compared to maybe english, german, or american beers. This one’s not that way. Very nice and drinkable.

Pours cloudy gold color with a white head that quickly diminishes. Aroma of honey and belgian yeast. Flavor is quite fruity and spicy, almost minty. The belgian yeast flavor is pronounced along with a gentle honey sweetness. A bit of spice hits the palate toward the finish.

Mar. 2007 - Beer poured golden yellow with small head and minimal lacing. The aroma and flavor were both very trippelesque...honey, sweet fruits, and spices. The flavor of this was very good and almost authentic tasting, it was just a little weak. Good, but not great.

Pours a hazy golden caramel color with a thick creamy white head. Aroma of citrus, vanilla and honey. Flavor is nice, lightly spicy, with a watery finish. Nice and refreshing.

Bottle. Pours a nice hazy caramel white. head is big and snow white. Attack is very ’Belgian’, spicy and malty. finishes smooth and long with a clean after taste. A little tingly on the carbonation but other than that an overall decent take on the classic Belgian.
