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.

Rated in Seattle USA. Medium murky yellow orange, smallish white quickly vanishing head. Medium foot yeasty sourdough and floral hops. More yeasty in fact than most Belgian Belgians but not unpleasant. Medium to thin body with light zing on the tongue. Alcohol exceptionally well masked. Lightly sweet caramel, mild yeasty sourness and medium hop bitters. Finish is an odd lightly sweet turning to acrid dry rubbery something. Despite this it is a well crafted brew. Well done guys.

12 oz. bottle, pours a beautiful golden with a medium white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is sweet, citrus and yeast. Flavour follows suit - a well balanced Belgian ale, but lacking character.

Northcoast usually impresses me, but this was bland. Sweet, with little of the usual Belgium spice and funk. little aroma.

12 oz bottle. Pours a crisp golden-orange with minimal head. Faint aromas of tangy citrus and malts. Taste is classically orange-citrus hops and hay/barnyard funk. Lots of sweetness balanced by funky tartness. A nice brew.

On tap at Library Bar in downtown L.A. Pranqster is a moderately sweet ale in the blonde Belgian style. Bready, almost honey sweet, but with enough hops to really quench the thirst. Nice.

12oz bottle. Nose is typically Belgian; sweet with candied, floral fruit. Pour a hazy golden. Tastes like honey grass with some vanilla and apricot. finish is brief but pleasing. Eminently Belgian in appeal.

A clear golden beer with no head. The aroma had alcohol. The taste had a very light fruit taste with alcohol. Not that enjoyable & I was glad I got a single & a 4 pack.
