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. Orange/gold color, very thin white head. Wow, great aroma, some banana-cloves, wheat and bubblegum. Taste is somewhat reminiscent of a hefe yeast profile with some more spice and a little sour. Finish is a little sour, gets you in the back of the throat and somewhat dry. Very interesting.

Love the cartoon of drunk folk on the bottle. A VERY strong beer, this blonde is about the best I have tried. Very nice golden flavors, it will hit you but good. I like the blonde’s styles sweet and sour flavor contradictions. I am surprised it took me this long to hear of it.

A very good belgian style ale for a reasonable price. The color was an orange-gold to amber with a small foamy white head with short retention; it was fairly cloudy. The aroma was soft but pleaseant with caramel malt, some floral and pine notes, and maybe a bit of citrus, wheat, and light yeast. Smooth and wet texture with low carbonation, and a nice, slightly dry alcohol finish. Taste is mostly sour with a touch of sweetness and somewhat bitter at the finish.

(Bottle) Pours a dark golden color with a fluffy white head. Aroma includes spice and some light yeast. Taste is sweet with some nice malty notes and a little bit of fruit. A good beer, but could be a little more balanced and less sweet.

Bottle. 12 fl. oz. A murky, yellow color with a white head and ribbon-like sediment floating throughout. Aroma of spice and citrus. Soft, creamy mouthfeel. Flavor is sweet and malty with a light bitter finish. Good American Belgian.

Rated 1/5/06: Bought a single bottle at my favorite shop, pours a gorgeouos cloudy orange color. The carbonation was decent but the head vanished too soon. Good aroma of fruits and spices. This beer drinks very easily and tastes great, extremely smooth and highly refreshing. I will definately buy this one again.

Golden/hazy pour. Tad sweet for a stong ale but very good beer. I tasted something similar to metallic bananas but everyone here is saying peach/apricot so maybe that is more correct. 8.4.8.4.15

NOT A FAN OF THE STYLE. SO HARD TO IMPRESS ME. THIS NEVERTHELESS SCORES WELL.MAINLY DUE TO THE COMPLEX AND SWEET CHARACTER THAT FITS IN WITH CONVERSATION AND HAS A CLASS BODY THAT DESCRIBES THE ORIGIN OF THE STYLE.LOOKS GOOD IN THE GLASS AS HAS BEEN DESCRIBED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. THE CLOVE AND CORIANDER THING WAS DONE NICELY AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. MIX FRUITS AS DONE BY THE BETTER OF THIS CATAGORY. A HOP HEADS DIVERSION.
