A light, fresh and very drinkable beer with lemongrass. The Funky Falcon thanks its name to the funky hop varieties that are used. When you smell this Pale Ale it feels like falling in love. Everything comes together in these melony, lemony and lemongrass aromas.

33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Description says pale ale btw. Slightly hazy golden yellow colour with some tiny particles, white head. Aroma of lemongrass, lemon, grapefruit, fresh and hoppy, later on more yeasty. Flavour of yeast, lemongrass, light malty, hay, lemon, grapefruit, nice bitter finish, more bitter than you’d expect from 25ebu. Light-bodied, crisp. If they’d get rid of the plastic yeast flavour, this’d be really great.

Bottle @ home. Hazy yellow color, medium sized white head that diminishes quite quickly. Aroma is nicely hoppy, nicely fruity, lightly grapefruit and orange. Taste malts, hops, grapefruit, orange, nicely bitter. Decent body and carbonation, very refreshing.

Golden with small white head, some little yeast clumps floating around even though I poured carefully. Lots of grapefruit, tangerine, flowers and pine at first, followed by a dry and spicy grainy body. Taste is light sour with bitter finish. Not much funk or lemongrass like the description mentioned, but there's some yoghurt-like acidity. Nice dry ale, wouldn't say it's really a saison. Not sure if all the hops really work that good with the rest but it's nice and refreshing.
