Prankster

Light haze to bright gold with a tinge of tangerine. Atmospheric and fast head forms and deconstructs in a swirl to cobwebs. Mantis lacing. Yeasty-brussel sprout-y, yam-earthy, baked orange, caramelized leek, and dried grapefruit savoriness to the rustic aromatics. Supple citrus blobs of soft orange and grilled lemon and grapefruit bob in a nutritional-yeasty soup of acorn squash and malty carrot, a nano pepper, and even less cedar or cinnamon bark. We would be splitting hairs to go further, but there are gingery spices and ginseng suggestions, ghosts of allspice and serpent breath. Pranq it up!

One of the best American takes on Belgian goldens. Sneaky alcohol. Hidden well behind the yeasty lemony goodness.

@Jason Westerberg introduced me to this tasty Belgian style golden ale. We enjoyed this on a hot summer day! Nice easy drink packed with soft flavors.

Lovely version of a saison. Well done, though a tad high in ABV.

I guess Cali style Belgian Golden Ale is not for me. A bit to sweet for my taste. Or I need a better food pairing. Grilled lamb shoulder was not a great pairing.

Better than I remembered. Sean says he wants to drink a lot of it. He wants to bathe in it.
