COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In the second half of 17th century, after the troubled times of the Hussite wars had ended, abbot Siard Falco revived the monastic life in Zeliv. Forget the bitterness of hops and the tang of beer - Siard Falco is beer that will caress your palate. Natural morello cherry extract gives Sirad Falco an unusual pinkish hue and a fruity flavour. The harmonious balance of its ingredients and the rounded taste of malt creates -- despite the absence of sugar -- a honeyed taste reminiscent of dry cherry... Cherry beer Sirad Falco will be appreciated especially by women or it can be a suitable alternative to a glass of wine.

oh6gdx (18799) - Vasa, FINLAND - OCT 25, 2007
Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is really toffeeish and redberryish with some hints of sweet malts and mild fudgeish notes. Flavour is berries, toffee and some malts. Mild flowery hops also balancing the brew into a really pleasant thing. Some mild smoke in the aftertaste, along with caramel malts.

asheft (2269) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - APR 24, 2006
[bottle from Galerie Pivni] Hazy strawberry-amber with virtually no fizz. Barleywine-like aroma of grainy malt with lots of black cherries and a touch of hops. The flavour with perfumey melanoidiny malt ending in a nice black cherry and nettles and orange and faint mint. This beer also tasted a bit alcoholic--more than 5.2% abv. Sweet and a bit oxidized with some herbal bitterness. Light to medium body with no carbonation to speak of. This beer would be even better with more carbonation.
