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. Pours an amber color with a thin white head that diminshes quickly. The aroma a yeast with some lemon. This one laces nicely with a very sweet taste with a nice smooth finish. Not one of the best belgian strong ales but a good one.

Initially, a subtle hint of freshly washed canine evolving into a taste of banana ester and a hint of coriander. Lovely mouth-feel with the soft touch of a velvetine fop. A reasonable facsimile of a beer actually from Belgium.

Aroma is strong, malty and yeasty with a hint of pear. It pours out a pretty clear golden color with a thick and fairly persistent head. Flavor is malty with fruity tones and a nice alcohol kick. On the tongue it feels smooth and rich, a satisfying ale that goes down the pipes very pleasantly and with just a touch of bitterness. Tasty and recommended.

Pours a relatively clear, beautiful gold color with a thin white head of microbubbles. High carbonation. Fruity, yeasty aroma with a faint citrus undertone. Flavors follow suit, with additional spiciness that is intensified by the carbonation. Quite an intense fizz on the tongue. Aftertaste fades to somewhat metallic/mineral. Decent enough beer. Not in the same league as the better Belgians, but a decent, light and refreshing alternative that is a good value for the price.

Bottle, 12 oz. Aroma is earthty and slightly yeasty. The beer is hazy and has a redish yellow color. Flavor is citrus and slighly yeasty. Has notes of spices. Fresh mouthfeel. Overall an average attempt on making a belgian beerstyle on american terms.

Very good. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a thin white head. Aroma of yeast (like fresh bread dough) and some citrus. Some good carbonation on the palate. Taste is quite good; spicy and a little sweetness. Very smooth considering the alcohol content. One of the better Belgian-style ales I’ve had.

This is a very good version of a Belgian Ale. It had aromas of yeast and citrus. The mouthfeel gave notes of citrus and spices. An excellent complex finish.

12oz - Aroma of bread dough, lemon and orange zest, candi sugar and coriander. Pours golden with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is a milder version of the aroma. Palate is sticky and tart. Not bad.
