Falkon Poprask

Czech Republic·Czech Premium Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Poprask starts as a classic Czech twelve-degree lager brewed with Pilsner and Carapils malt plus a little wheat malt, hopped with Sládek and Žatec semi-early red hops. Then comes the twist: towards the end of fermentation it is loaded with the aroma hop blend Cryo POP, which gives it a funky, modern streak. The brewery calls it a Hoppy Pilsner, and the lager yeast is W34/70.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and full-bodied for its ABV, with a pleasing malty platform of Pilsner and Carapils providing bready structure. The mid-palate introduces the funky, assertive hop profile, building moderate bitterness without harsh edges. A smooth finish follows, driven by the interplay of noble-hop refinement and modern aroma-hop punch, balanced by the wheat malt's delicate sweetness.
