Polotmový (Amber) Czech Lager. Translating to “half-dark,” this specialty lager is malt forward with notes of toffee & brittle, and subtle hints of fruit resulting from Czech lager yeast. Brewed with all Czech-sourced ingredients, hopped with Saaz & Harmonie.

Great aromas of roasted malt and cracker. Taste follows with toasted cracker and a little grass. Earthy and herbal with a smooth finish Feels light and crisp.

16oz can into a pint glass. Age hard to figure out, dating made no sense.
Beautiful amber body, tiny bubbles, persistent off white head, streaks of lacing. Aroma is full and bready. On tasting, full flavored, malty, bready, but the slightly sour bitterness in the finish is a bit off putting.
Overall, was excited to try my first czech amber, but didn't care for the finish.

(16 oz nonic pour at Pinocchio's anniversary party earlier today)
Weak, fleeting foam cap atop a dull bronze colored, clear liquid... hints of nutty caramel and earthy herbal hop on the nose... round, redolent toasted sugars, herbal and dried grass hop bitterness charging through, over a plumply malted grain base... delicate gloopy blub on the tongue up front, which subtle unfermentables rolling across the palate before quietly dropping off in the finish
A respectable domestic rendering of a distinct style of lager... reminds me of what Yuengling Lager only pathetically hints at... Augustin is a good beer, but it was a bit much to lingually contemplate while my palate was lathered in pizza grease... enough of a sample size to get the overview, but a revisit at cellar temp is in order (2493)

I really like this style of "half dark" lager, and Schilling's version doesn't disappoint. Looks are as expected with lush foam that recedes leaving very little lacing. A few sniffs provide caramel, brown bread, and lager yeast scents centralized around an herbal quality. Sips follow the nose quite closely with additional dry graham cracker malt notes and an earthy floral hop kiss. Malty goodness is prevalent over all with a full body and appropriate carbonation. Flavors linger long after a pull is taken. Drinkability is above average, but this tastes so good I'd rather savor it than smash it down. This is an excellent lager and another Schilling winner

can into nonic pint
Look: clear, beep amber body, pouring a tannish, frizzy head just shy of a finger that quickly dissipated into light lacing
Smell: Crisp, crackery and toasty malt, caramel, grassy and earthy hops. Metallic scent. medium strength nose
Taste: Just like it smells. Crisp, toasty and crackery malt, caramel sweetness. Earthy hops with light bitterness and a touch of grass and pepper. Finish is quick, with pepper, earthy hops and crackery malt
Feel: Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, crisp
Overall: Good amber. First ever amber lager, would definitely try again tho

a: rich amber color with some hints of dark purple and brown penetrating. some ruby red towards the bottom, and a 2 finger tan head that looks like a coin could rest on it
s: crisp sweet grains and earthy hops upfront. rich malts, grass, and a touch of caramel. huge crusty bread presence makes up the backbone and the finish is sweet and grainy
t: crisp, earthy sweet grains immediately followed by an earthy tea-like hop bitterness. caramel malts and fresh dough behind. a nice lager spice and bread crust
m: medium mouthfeel with low-medium carbonation
o: really nice beer here. well balanced and crisp
