Falconer’s Flight® (US) Hop Pellets
Falconers Flight is exclusive to Hop Union and was developed in honor of American Northwest brewing legend Glen Hay Falconer and released in 2010. Falconers Flight is a proprietary blend of Pacific Northwest hops, which include the 7 “C”s (Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Citra, Cluster, Columbus (CTZ), & Crystal) PLUS other experimental varieties developed by Hopunion, LLC. Falconer’s Flight serves as a dual-purpose brewing ingredient, imparting both a bittering quality and fruity aromatics to regional styles like Northwest style IPAs and Pale Ales.
Falconer’s Flight will generally have an alpha acid range from about 9% to 12%. If used as a flavor and aroma hop, your brew will also benefit from the light citrus, grapefruit, and tropical fruit flavors.
If in need of a substitution for Falconer’s Flight, try Cascade or Columbus hops instead.
Proceeds from each Falconer’s Flight® purchase is contributed to the Glen Hay Falconer Foundation. These hop pellets are an excellent complement to many IPA and Pale Ale-oriented hop varieties. Specific aroma descriptors include distinct tropical, floral, lemon and grapefruit characteristics.
