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.

Yellow to amber color. No head ..but a pleasant clean taste. Equal malt and hops taste.. no overbearing taste. It is almost like they made a very strong beer and reduced everything until it was even.

12oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Pours a clear golden yellow. Nose of banana, citrus peel and Belgian yeast. A crisp and lightly yeasty finish.

Cloudy dark yellow with a slowly dissipating white head leaving spotty lacing. Smell is sour, has overripe fruit, banana, lemon, and a yeasty aroma to it. Taste is of bananas, lemons, and apples, definately some clove as well, very nice. Mouthfeel was light in body and had an average carbonation. Definitely drinkable, a solid brew to have once in a while, definitely worth picking up.
