    White Falcon has been bottled for the first time ever and is currently being distributed throughout Michigan for a limited time! Cheers!

    White Falcon is a Belgian White Ale hopped assertively like an American India Pale Ale. Its pale yellow color is lightened further by an appropriate haze from the use of malted white wheat. An intense, fruit-filled nose comprised of notable hop aromas, distinctive yeast esters, and pronounced lemon and orange zest is prominent. Flavors of soft grain and earthy hops mingle with an overall fruitiness, amplified by coriander and other lively spice qualities. An agreeable bitterness heightens in the finish before turning unmistakably dry.

    5.5% ABV
    64 IBU

    Trying to figure out if that is a man or woman on the label. The curve (and apparent sag) on the chest suggests it to be a woman.

    Is this going to be similar to Wit Happens? For some reason beers with heavy belgian yeast turn me off and I can't even finish them. I will get a bottle and go from there i guess.

    It's hoppy. I haven't tried the bottled version, yet, but I think it's going to be tasty and perfect for the season.

    After Beard of Zeus, my money is going to be gone. Pan Galactic, Kind, Juicy Tree, Evil Urges...I'm done for.

    For the style I think this is done really well. I'm not a huge fan of it but ithose who like the Belgians will love this.
