A complex balance of malts round out Czech Saaz and German Hallertau hops, followed by a clean and crisp finish. A classic Czech-style Pilsner, our Roly Poly Pils is a super drinkable and tasty year round beer!

This brew is a pilsner in ever sense of the word...as for the look, it pours a nice hazy gold/orange with fluffy white foam that has fair lacing to it.
The aroma is sweet German Pils all the way...with the bready malts, hops and semi sweetness coming thru. Slendid old factory enjoyment, just what a pils should smell like.
As for the taste, it has all the aroma factors with a nice bit of body, maybe some semi citrus bite to it...can put it down even to write this review.
The feel is full of the body and the semi bite finish, but so well blended thru this whole brew, it makes it so smooth and enjoyable all around, and all day. PROST !!!!

I'm trying this at the Newark airport during layover to Germany. It poured a clear golden with white head that is leaving a nice lace. The scent had faint grain. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with subtle bitter finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a good beer.

L - massive, billowing yellowish white head atop a translucent orange body.

S - grass, pine, herb, a touch of citrus.

T - surprising dankness for a pils. Grass, oranges, limes, a touch of peppery spice. Very clean middle. Low bitterness. Low sweetness. No booziness.

F - medium body with above-average carb.

O - no ‘wow’ flavors, but everything works together to create an immensely drinkable beer.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Clear light golden pour with massive fluffy white head. Great retention and lacing.

S: Light grains and mild lemon citrus.

T.F: Follows the nose. Lightly toasted malts... noble hops and mild lemongrass. Well balanced with gentle bitterness. Zesty carbonation... the finish is clean with light citrus. Crisp.

O: A solid pils... easy drinking, and what I'd expect for the style.
