Falkon Akira

Tap to rate

Akira is a Japanese-style rice lager. Rice flakes join the barley malt, and after fermentation the beer is cold hopped with Mimosa and Juno, alongside Saaz Shine. It is bottom-fermented, a lager with a modern hop accent, sold in 500 ml cans. The name Akira is a Japanese given name, a fitting nod to the style's origin.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with cool, herbal notes from the Saaz Shine, followed by subtle floral impressions from Mimosa and Juno that add a delicate, garden-like quality. Beneath lies a soft, understated Malz character from the barley and rice base, clean and inviting without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and refreshing, with the rice adjunct lending a light, smooth body that drinks very cleanly. Hoppy notes develop through the mid-palate—a restrained bitterness balances gentle floral undertones, while residual sweetness from the Malz remains restrained. The finish dries progressively, leaving no heaviness behind.
