Falkon Vzlet

Tap to rate

Vzlet, Czech for take-off, is a pale ale that blends Czech, American and New Zealand hops: Saturn, Nelson Sauvin Amplifier, Talus Cryo and Gaia. The grist combines Pilsner, dextrin and biscuit malts with a little torrefied barley; it is top-fermented and finishes dry. The brewery describes it as pleasantly aromatic and very drinkable, which sums up the idea well.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with crisp citrus and herbal notes from the Nelson Sauvin and Talus Cryo hops, layered with subtle green fruit and stone fruit character. Beneath the hop-forward profile lies a gentle bready undertone from the Pilsner and biscuit malts, with a whisper of toasted grain complexity from the torrefied barley.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and crisp, with immediate hop bite that sits comfortably at 38 IBUs—enough to define the palate without overwhelming. Mid-palate showcases the interplay of stone fruit and citrus from the New Zealand hops against a light, biscuit-forward malt base. The dry finish emerges cleanly, with no residual sweetness, allowing the hop bitterness and herbal notes to linger without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively short, fading to a clean, herbaceous aftertaste that refreshes rather than lingers. No astringency or harshness remains—just a pleasant, thirst-quenching conclusion.
