May 31, 2003 Without a doubt, one of the finest Belgian Style ales in the world. Less dry than most others, and distinctly more flavorful. Gives any Belgian a run for its money, and leaves many of them in the dust. Pranqster deserves a space in every Belgian lover's cooler.

May 15, 2007 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.

Nov 15, 2003 Bought in the 12 oz brown stubbie with a marvelous 17th century drinkinf scene on the label.
In appearance the beer is a lovelly deep golden colour with an everlasting pure white head, great swirls of carbonation.
Oh my what a fine aroma this beer has, wonderfully fruity with banana predominating..coriander present..very fresh smelling.
A lovely fizzy sweet fruitiness in taste, banan and coriander( slightly over ripe banana)..sweet sherbet great stuff.
Wonderfully creamy but with a fizzy kick.
A very drinkable Belgian style..I loved this beer..will by many many more.

Oct 27, 2005 Damn good stuff. Nice and dry Belgian. My dad had a Chimay Trippel on draft, while I got this. Side by side comparison I liked this much more. Hints of alcohol on the nose and palate. Dry finish. Slight smell of the cany sugar used in it.

Mar 19, 2003 Updated: Aug 13, 2004I love this beer. This is the beer that put my Belgian fascination in high gear. Easily obtainable, perfect price, FRESH example of the style. Not something that's been in the hot cargo hold of a freightliner for two months. This elixer pours a deep golden, cloudy, orange colour. Twisting, lively carbonation forms a fluffy cream coloured head that never fully subsides. Strong smell of peppers, spice, and pineapple. Massive corriander, curacao orange, doughy yeast and malt sweetness flavours fill the mouth. Huge mouthfeel activates all senses of the palate, from the tip of the tongue to the back of the throat. Another perfect brew from the folks at North Coast. Why this doesn't get the lauding here that Old Rasputin does I'll never know.

May 17, 2005 This was truly a great beer. It made me realize why I love beer. Sticky. Very sweet with a nice balance of slight bitterness as it warms. I will have to try this one again as it was definitely a fine ale.
