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.

Pours a nice pale orangy gold with a very aromatic, white head. Smelled sweet and yeasty...Very yeasty taste with a tad of hops on the finish. Good medium bodied mouthfeel..Overall I think it is nice example of a Belgian Strong.

Bottle at Monks in Brookline. Loved this one. Pale golden color and nice head. Fruity aroma with a bit of yeasty notes as well. Almost Hefe-like, but not as strong and fragrant. Sweet malty flavor - light bitterness. Solid brew for the style.

Very fruity aroma...some citrus, pine in the hops as well as some floral notes. Smooth from start to finish....a good balance of the sweet belgian malts and flavoable hops. A nice all-around ale. Goes great with a pub meal, like Fish and Chips.

Love the yeasty aroma. Golden amber color with a low white head. Great taste, floral notes on your plate. Light fruitiness, creamy smooth beer. THis beer was a fruitiness surprise. Drink this one quick.. better with strong carbonation.

A near perfect Belgian strong. Aroma was so so. Grass and spices mostly. Pour was a nice murky orange with a one finger white head. Taste was very fruity. Orange, coriander and peach with a lot of yeast and a mild alcohol burn. Great carbonation and perfect balance. If the aroma on this beer was better and the flavor came through stronger it would be 4+. Nice Belgian

Hazy glowing gold with a medium size white head. sweet malts, spices, yeast, fruity, alcohol and some citrus in the aroma. Nice body. Flavor is a little heavier on the yeast and spice than anything else with some fruit undertones thrown in for fun. Though I enjoyed this beer I would have liked a little something to set it apart from the myriad of others just like it. Still, a good beer that doesn’t disappoint the taste buds.

Pours a light amber color with a fine head that doesn’t last. Lager-like body, thick American diffusion that imitates true Belgian quality and falls short with a flourish. (Lacks ’Funk’)

Nice earthen aroma. Pours hazy yellow / copper. SMall head fizzes down quickly. Good strong flavor like a beligan unfiltered white, but a bit of bite on the back end.
