look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Appearance: Sudsy head on this golden ale. Pretty good lacing as well. A bit thin as far as carbonation goes. I would also expect this to be a bit murkier.

Smell: Bubblegum. Banana. Is this a hef?

Taste/Mouthfeel: Cedar/oak notes in the head. Tastes like this was stored in a barrel for sure. A bit of scotch in the finish. I really enjoy this as it warms. Feels crisps, but it doesn't balance the flavor well enough.

Overall Drinkability: Would taste amazing aged for a while.

Pours nicely. Not to be too scientific but it's aq.

Smells fruity and delicious.

Sweet and bitter balanced taste.

Thin but consistent carbonation/ bubbles, not to heavy. Slightly high taste of alcohol that's why it didn't get a 5.

Overall one of my favorite beers of all time!

It's been a couple a days...
Mom's having minor heart failure, Dad & I driving to see her every day.
I walked in and told Mike @MAXBURGER to just 'bring it'.
This is what he brung.

A big cloud of Lacey foam on top.
So Orange it could be a Shocktop, but, that could be the lighting in here...designed to make me look palatable to some Cougar, I guess.
Super good taste right off the bat, and a slightly watery mouthfeel, which, for my first of the day, is great.
After the first half pint, I searched BA, found out the particulars.
Nice!
Mike knows I'm a Belgian lover!
If mike had tits, I would surely pursue his nakedity.
Thanks Mike.
And, thank you beer gods.
Mom's doing well.

A: Hazy yellow strawy with a nice head with ok lace. Not that it counts but cool label on the bottle as well. A picture is worth a thousand words and the pic on the label kinda sums up where I wanna be when I drink a Pranqster.

S: Yeasty and countrified barnyard floral Belgian with some fruity particularly banana esters.

T: I love the Belgian yeast thing and this has all of the goodness of the Belgians including fruity banana sweetness. -like flavor. The sweet fruity zest is combined extraordinarily well with a subtle hop bitterness. Nice bubbles to balance things out.

O: Can't go wrong with this Belgian. Try it and you'll agree.
