Neshaminy Creek’s Falconry Club takes you beyond into a universe you’ve never tasted before. A universe of mystery, magic, fermentable fantasies, and awesome good. Falconry Club is our Grodziskie, a historical Polish style of beer dating back to the 14th Century. The beer is a delicate, straw-colored lager brewed with copious amounts of oak smoked wheat and a kiss of German noble hops. Falconry Club takes you for a ride with its nuanced bready malt character, mellow wood smoke, and dry finish. So beautiful and so dangerous.

16oz can served in a footed pilsner glass. I don't see a date on it. @Ozzylizard surprised me with it in NBS BIF #17.
Pours clear pale yellow with a smallish head. Smell is smoky, oaky, moderate honey sweetness. Something light and airy about it.
Taste is similar -- delicately (but insistently) smokey, moderate honeysuckle sweetness. A little bit of an earthy bitterness.
Mouthfeel is very light and clean. Overall, this is a really nice beer.

The pour was nearly transparent straw color with a bone white head that tried and failed to amount to much. But it left good lacing.
The aroma was lost on my Covid affected nose.
The taste was smoky and malty, the light grassy flavor I normally get from Noble hops is sort of there but it is toasted. Actually one of the best features IMO.
The feel is good, maybe even very good, but the light thinness seems to not go with the flavor.
OA, very good beer. I could drink a few of these in short order.

Falconry Club from Neshaminy Creek. 16 fl oz can from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA, 09/05/23. $ 3.00 (Including tax) - $0.188/fl oz. Reviewed 29/05/23 (Review 3116). Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
Undated can. In reefer at store. Stored at 34 degrees at home. Served at 45.6 degrees F in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter. The final temperature was 50.9 degrees F.
Appearance – 4.5
First pour – Pale Straw (SRM 2), clear.
Body – Straw (SRM 3), opaque. Under direct light, same. When rear lite, same.
Head: Large (Maximum five cm, aggressive center pour), white, high density, quickly diminishing to a 0.3 – 0.8 cm undulating crown with a rocky cap.
Lacing – Good! Three-dimensional band of very tiny to small bubbles, with multiple blunt stalactites.
Aroma – 4.25 – Light smoke and weak coriander. No malt, no yeast, no hops. No ethanol (4.1 % ABV as marked on the label).
Flavor – 4.25 – Begins slightly bitter with very weak coriander and smoke. A bit grainy. No malt, no yeast. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl. No gastric warming. Ends slightly dry.
Palate – 3 – Medium; watery; lively carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3.75 (After deducting 0.25 point for an undated personal container) Light smokiness like a brew from Spezial. The coriander taste is probably from the smoke but is distinctly present. One of the better Grodziskies I’ve had.

(16 oz can, no date/code; purchased single off shelf at Total Wine... poured into a 14 oz mug)
L: polished-clear, pale brass-colored liquid... head doesn't hold; no lacing
S: not-so-subtle smokiness... woody, toasty... no apparent sweetness... faint wheat malt note in the back
T: doughy malt foundation, dry... glassy/sandy note in the aftertaste... smoky almost like an Islay whisky; gamy?
F: glassy texture; light-bodied, quick-flowing... delicate smoky tingle on the roof of the palate... not much clinging; airy, but only softly carbonated
O: have only had one other Grodziskie (Briem) to compare this to... but as a smoked, basic, light, mellow lager, it's rather excellent and worth having another, probably with some smoked fish (1972)
