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.

A very very nice pale ale. Very neipa-like. Light to drink but big flavourful body. Tons of fresh tropical hop aroma. Top notch for the style. Albert heijn ams

Mild taste, medium sweet and light bitter, malty, orange peel, passion fruit, light spicy notes. Light to medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, dry sweetbitter aftertaste, chaly, cardboard, spicy notes, not much character, okay (nothing less, nothing more).

Bottle. Color: Clear golden, white head. Aroma: Malty, citrus, lemon, sourish. Taste: Malty, bread notes with refreshing citrus / lemon and a grassy hop background. Loght hints of butter. Medium body, average carbonation. Ok, but where is the funk?
Edit: 18th of june 2025, bottle 75cl from AH XL for fathers day. Indeed subtle funky (Saison yeast?), piney hints. Maybe I've learned some things from 5 years rating, or the recipe has changed... ;) Rating changed from 6.4 (6,6,7,6,6.5) to 7.1. Enjoyable.

Small white head over clear metallic copperish golden beer. Faintly hoppy, fruity, light green leaves, faintly peppery, fresh celeri (no doubt rather the lemongrass). Bitterish-hoppy, again these peppery hops. Chalk, soapy (idd...) and quite a bit oxidation. Light body, the hoppiness petering out. Feels better carbonated than it looks. Not ideal - supermarket purchased beer, hence?
