Falkon Stalker IPA

Tap to rate

Stalker is a Midwest-style American IPA, fermented with US-05 yeast and hopped with Simcoe, Ekuanot and Cascade. The brewery describes fruit and plenty of resin, a dry body, pronounced bitterness and a pinch of light crystal malt. The grist is built on barley malts alone. Its return was announced as the legendary Stalker being back.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by a pronounced resinous character with distinct Simcoe and Ekuanot notes that convey piney, herbal, and citrus-forward aromatics. A clean, slightly fruity backdrop emerges beneath the hop intensity, while the crystal malt contributes a subtle caramel sweetness that balances the overall composition without overwhelming the pure hop expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and assertive, with the hop bitterness immediately establishing its presence alongside resinous, herbal flavors. The mid-palate reveals a dry, crisp character supported by clean malt backbone and fleeting fruit notes—primarily citrus—that emerge from the fermentation. The finish transitions into a pronounced, lingering bitterness that defines the beer's Midwest-style backbone without becoming harsh or astringent.

The finish is long and cleanly bitter, with resinous and herbal hop notes persisting well into the aftertaste. The dryness carries through to the very end, leaving a crisp, slightly piney impression on the palate.

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