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.

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.

A little bit too much bite for your typical belgian. Aspires to chhouffedome and falls short. Enjoyable though.

old rating: 7/4/7/3/13 - 3.4 pours a semi-cloudy light orange with a very small off-white head, and some lacing. smell is of yeast, roasted nuts, malt, a touch of citrus, some fruit, grass, and floral. taste is fizzy and oily, lots of yeast, some sour malt, some fruit, a little musty, and a little bit of roasted nuts, leaves the mouth on the dry side.

Pours a very bright orange with a thick white head. The aroma is very strong, and amplified by yeast and esters. Taste is very creamy and flavorful. Mainful fruit and yeast. Perfectly carbonated with a fruity flavor that lingers.

I loved this beer. It had a very strong yeast taste to it, and the flavor and aroma were well balanced.

Bottle. Strong yeasty and fruity aroma with a hazy yellow and brown color. The yeast is what makes this beer. I can see how some may not like it. I, on the other hand, think it is great. It seems to go almost in a Witbier direction with the unfiltered appearance, but despite this the fruit and floral flavor is a nice change.

Highly rated but hardly impressive. Pours a golden yellow color with a moderate sized white head. Smells of yeast, sugar, malt, and flowers. Taste is offensive and unbalanced. Like eating a fist full of flowers with the sour yeast from a tripel.

strong yeast aroma with hints of bubble gum. hazy, deep gold in the center of the glass, sunny yellow on the edge. sweet bubble gum flavor in the beginning, hefty yeast sticks to the roof of my mouth. drinks quickly, very refreshing.
