Falkon Šlágr

◎ Appearance

Pale golden in color with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A white, pillowy head forms readily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and steady, creating a continuous stream of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Noble hop character dominates the nose, with herbal and floral notes from Saaz Shine and the traditional spice of Sládek and Žatec semi-early red hops. Beneath lies a delicate, grainy malt sweetness with a subtle earthy undertone. Clean fermentation from W34/70 yeast contributes a neutral backdrop without any fruity esters.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft malt character—approachable and lightly sweet—before a restrained but distinct noble hop bitterness emerges mid-palate. Crisp minerality and a dry finish follow naturally, with the 39 IBUs providing balance rather than aggression. The beer remains clean and refreshing throughout, allowing both malt and hops their voice.

◑ Finish

Short to medium finish with a dry, slightly herbal aftertaste that fades cleanly. No residual sweetness lingers; the beer leaves the palate ready for the next sip.
