Falkon Meteor

Tap to rate

Meteor was packed with as much hop as it would take, as the brewery puts it. It leans on Citra Cryo, Cascade, Cashmere, Idaho 7 and Gaia and describes notes of pomelo, yellow melon and grapefruit, with the right amount of resin in a creamy body. Oats and wheat malt in the grist support that soft texture, and the beer is top-fermented. A hop-driven pale ale from Falkon.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and creamy, driven by the wheat and oat contribution, while the hop profile unfolds with grapefruit and tropical notes layered throughout. Bitterness rises steadily to a moderate level, balancing the fruit-forward character without dominating; the resin and citrus persist across the mid-palate in a smooth, integrated fashion.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
