Polotmavy, meaning "half dark", is our Czech-inspired amber lager beer that offers notes of lightly toasted malt with a bit of honey, and vibrant floral saaz hops. Made with a traditional decoction mash schedule and patiently lagered to help make this amber lager incredibly drinkable and refreshing.

Sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can poured into my 0.5L dimple mug. Date stamp is 10/31/2025. Purchased at the brewery in December.
The beer pours a clear copper color with some eggshell white slightly frothy head of about 2 cm. This foam fades to a sturdy surface covering. There is some scattered lattice on the sides of the glass after each sip or swirl.
Aroma is some brown bread and a little toasted caramel, but definitely not a sweet nose on this beer. Maybe a little cut grass hop note underneath, but its a malt driven nose on this beer.
First sip reveals a medium to lighter body, with smooth texture and very fine tingly carbonation. The beer drinks very easy on the physical traits.
Flavor is more of what the nose advertises with some toasted caramel that edges to roasted, but doesnt get there. I also get that brown bread note and there is some lingering dryness and hints of black tea hop bite. Never any hint of the ABV, which checks out
