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 poured into tulip glass. Hazy goulden colour with fizzy carbonation. Thin white film on top. Aroma was some caramel and cream. Flavour was rather traditional belgian ale with a touch of honey. Maybe finishes a touch dry. Pleasant ale.

Bottle-Memphis. I have a bad habit of comparing the beer I’m drinking to my favorite within it’s style. This poured a pale gold and a think white head however, the flavor was not as complex as I was hoping. It may have been served to cold and itwas just too easy to drink - all gone before it hit prime temp. I’ll probably need to re-rate this guy.

Fine head that builds and dissipates quickly, leaving a blond, light liquid in the glass. Aroma of crushed pine and clover, honey, dandelions. Delicate mouthfeel, just a tinge of hops to round out the end. Generally exemplary of Belgian style, although rather less complex than some of the more traditional offerings. Seems light on the yeast and sugar, which isn’t a bad thing.

The color is slightly pale yellow. The nose is hoppy slightly citrus and yeasty.The taste is hoppy, slightly hint of orange and yeast. The beer is very balance and easy to drink. The finish is slightly bitter, though.

cloudy golden amber, mine had a lot of head, while my roommates had hardly any. looks delicious. floral and orange in aroma. kinda thick going down, which i was fighting a little bit... not as "orange-ie" as other belgians, which i prefer, but not the tastiest either.

12 oz. bottle. Poured a hazy amber/orange with a thin head. Aroma of honeyed cake and biscuit malts with some pear, banana, citrus, and floral notes. Cookie-cake malt flavors with like a caramelized sugar, apricot/orange marmalade swirl. Develops more of a candied citrus peel note and yeasty creaminess as it warms. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Enjoyable Belgian interpretation, but not really complex or exciting.
