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.

belgianhomebrew (646) - Acworth, Georgia, USA - MAY 31, 2002
Very hazy. Little to no head. Great complex slightly sweet aroma of hop, alcohol, and fruit. Slightly spicy and fullbodied. A quite enjoyable Belgian Ale.

BillKismet (3024) - Seattle, Washington, USA - MAY 26, 2002
Tawny/taupe color similar to an IPA. Sour hop smell with and edge of evergreen that becomes more prominent. A smooth easty to quaff ale with rounded pinyness--rather one dimensional in taste. Despite the high alcohol content this beer tastes like Belgian Ale-Light.

Volgon (2761) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - MAY 22, 2002
Pours with a big white head, cloudy golden color. Good light fruit aroma. Finishes fairly dry. A nice golden Belgian Ale from America. Thanks legion242!

Lots of fruit in the nose, slightly spicy taste. Bright golden appearance. Hoppy, decent.

Bolt (117) - Boulder Creek, California, USA - MAY 10, 2002
Love the sediments at the bottom of the bottle, Complex flavors, a little sour for my tastes, but the hops help in the end.

This is the one that got me started on the belgians. Stronger than it was last year! One of the most flavorful beers I’ve ever had.

ravidesai (940) - Bombay, INDIA - APR 15, 2002
hazy orange yellow color. big head. very promising aroma but the flavors diappoint. the sugary and citrus flavors dominate with some coriander and fennel spices present. there is a peppery bitter hop finish. does a good job hiding the near 8% alcohol a good micro tripel but not of Duvel quality

   AROMA 7/10   APPEARANCE 3/5   TASTE 7/10   PALATE 4/5   OVERALL 15/20
Gusler (2653) - Tucson, Arizona, USA - APR 9, 2002
Pours a bit cloudy golden amber color, nice frothy white head and quite generous lace. Banana, bubble gum in the nose, begins quite sweet, the middle light, the finish has a nice hop spicyness to it, acidic, dry and moderate carbonation top it off. All in all, a pretty decent beer, if I do say so ’My own self’.

MilkmanDan (1943) - Eagan, Minnesota, USA - APR 5, 2002
Nice hazy orange-yellow color, very hefeweizen-esque. Nice, full nose, but the flavor disappoints. Is fruity and spicy in a tripel-ish way, but seems to be straddling a couple of different styles, and the carbonation is sadly lacking.
