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.

Yellow orange color, spicy aroma and flavor. Lively carbonation. Similar to a Duvel - very good.

Not a bad brew at all. Pours out a nice hazy yellow color with a large beige head. Aroma is sweet and yeasty. Flavor was very much the same with a bit of spice to it. I like this brew. Nice job

Pours a slight hazy golden yellow. Spicy, bready aroma with fruits. Medium body mouth feel, a bit fizzy. It tastes like your average good Golden Belgian Ale, but nothing special really stands out.

Tasted at the Illini Homebrewers Club meeting. Pours a hazy yellow with a small white head. Bready and spicy with some fruity esters as well. Medium mouthfeel. I’m not a huge fan of Belgians or Belgian style beers, but this was good.

12oz bottle. the color is an attractive shade of orange that pours pretty hazy. short lived off white head is poorly retained. the nose, on the other hand, is quite nice. plenty of sweet grains and brown sugar, as well as peach and apricot fruit flavors. over taste is good, everything you look for in belgian style, but it lacks the complexity of the best examples. body is medium to full. finish is solid.

Bottle. Scents of banana, citrus, and a hint of spice. Pours cloudy yellow with a thick but small head. Flavor is malty and floral, quite nice. Feels good in the mouth. Slick and lightly tingles the back of the tongue.
