Previously known as Millennium Falcon, this seasonal pale ale was crafted with a perfect mixture of Millennium hops and Falconer’s Flight blend. Inviting orange aroma and hints of lemon flavor in this medium-bodied beauty will make you want to drink yours at light speed!

Poured a light, yellow-colored body with minimal head and lace patches down glasses. The aroma is rather a light and soapy hoppiness with minimal citric. The beer itself is light to medium bodied, with a buttery and soapy taste. Overall, a zippy hop tastiness with nominal bitterness and juiciness and good balance.

On draft at 2 Bros. Pours a hazy dirty yellow with an inch of head. Good amount of sticky lacing. Citrus hop aroma. Orange, grapefruit, lemon and a bit of peach. The taste is toasted malts with some citrus peel. Pine and herbal hops as well. Piney finish with a bit more malt flavor. Pretty balanced Pale Ale. Light to medium body with a dry mouthfeel and lots of carbonation. Minimal alcohol presence.

Loved the hop combo of falconer and millennium, give this pale ale a beautiful zest of grapefruit, orange, pine and grain spice on the finish. Has a west coast feel. The body is crisp yet very stable and full. Lets the hops play well on the palate. Plenty of juicy flavor in this pale ale!
