Tap to rate

Mikrokosmos is Falkon's session IPA with a soft, creamy body and a fresh hop character from Idaho 7, Cashmere, Citra, Cascade and Centennial. A little wheat malt rounds out the grist. The beer won the title of Best Session IPA from Hop Growers of America, the American hop growers' association, an honour for a beer made to be drunk freely.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a bright blend of citrus and pine from the hop medley, with Idaho 7 and Cascade providing grapefruit and herbal notes, while Citra adds floral top notes. Beneath the hoppy character sits a soft, grainy foundation from the wheat malt, creating a balanced aromatic profile that feels inviting rather than aggressive.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and creamy, with the wheat malt contributing a gentle sweetness and soft mouthfeel that anchors the beer. Hop bitterness builds gradually across the mid-palate—measured at 40 IBU—delivering crisp citrus flavors from the Citra and Centennial without harshness. The finish maintains freshness and drinkability without overwhelming the senses.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with a gentle fade that leaves only a light hop residue and subtle grain memory. At 5% ABV, the beer's structure remains light and inviting, encouraging another sip rather than demanding contemplation.

Serve at 7–10°C

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
