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.

Floral aromas, super light body, full sweet fruity flavors, light carbonation with little to no head retention. Its almost a perfect example of a Belgian Style Golden Ale.

burg326 (2326) - Florida, USA - MAR 5, 2013
12 ounce bottle at the Bras Tap poured a cloudy orangish color with aromas of fruit, wheat, light honey, some vanilla and a touch of yeast. Flavors are the same, ligt fruit, wheat, and a touch of yeast at the end, a solid every day beer most people can buy at their local store.

arminjewell (4160) - Saudi Auroria, Colorado, USA - MAR 4, 2013
Pour out of 12 oz bottle, very hazy yellow-orange pour with white head that fades fast, looks like orange juice, aroma brings notes of yeast, nice milky white fruits with peach, pear, slight white grape, hints of biscuit, vanilla, and honey, nice earthy note as well. Taste is a mix of nice white fruit, with peach, mangoes, nice white grape, pear, hints of milky yeast, nice toasted bread, slight earth, spice, finishing sweet, slightly bitter, earthy.

BillHick420 (302) - North Dakota, USA - MAR 2, 2013
Pours straw with a white head. Fruity nose. Aroma of esters, fruit, and some barnyard qualities. A bit too faint for my likings.

Shink (177) - Portland, Oregon, USA - FEB 28, 2013
Out of the bottle from Whole Foods. Pours a light golden color that is slightly cloudy. Generous head even with a delicate pour. Smell is sour with a bitter start and sour finish. Excellent Belgian style beer!

A perfectly crafted, beautiful Belgian-style Golden. Beautiful color, strong Belgian yeast nose and taste, and a refreshing and satisfying finish. One of the best California craft brews.

maekchu (1090) - Hirakata, JAPAN - FEB 24, 2013
Draught at Bailey’s Taproom in Portland (from notes). Interesting aroma of sour grapefruit and yeast, sharp and sour in the nose. Flavors include some lemon, overripe peas, and very light banana. Soft mouth feel.

yrstruly (191) - Guelph, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 23, 2013
Pours pale gold with a lasting white head. The aroma is sweet, with floral, ester, citrus and bubble gum notes. There is also a slight funk. The taste is try, with components of candi sugar and light malt, followed by floral, herbal and spicy notes. The beer is medium-bodied, with light carbonation and an average finish. Nice example of this style.
