Description
Our beer is and will always be clean and consistent with a strong focus on balance. We feel our four flagship offerings best represent Pollyanna and take pride in their year-round availability (we package everything in cans and bottles). We're constantly experimenting with local fruits and spices, seasonal lagers, barrel-aging, wild yeast, and bacteria. In our intimate and truly unique taprooms, we offer tasting flights, draft pours, and to-go 64oz growlers, 32oz howlers, or 32oz crowler cans. Our Lemont location offers a scenic look at the brewery, our Roselle location offers a wide array of wood barrels, Italian Foudres, and a smaller brewhouse for unique one-off offerings, and our St Charles location offers our largest taproom and a beautiful view of the Fox River. Keep an eye out for a constant rotation of special firkins and taproom only offerings at each location.

Draught @ Tapville Social, Napierville IL (Nov 2024). Dark brown with faint red highlights, small frothy beige head, dark chocolate-rum aroma, medium carbonation, sweetish chocolate-dark toasted malt taste, faint alcohol undertones, smooth body, long finish. Indulgingly chocolatey.

16 oz. can from Trader Joe's. Pours a lot of fizzy heads. Hazy straw color with lots of bubbles. Yes, the fusel smell of a cheap malt liquor. Guess that's all I should expect. But the taste redeems this puppy: noticeable malt, a little bitterness, but not sugary or headache inducing. Though I would not want to take a chance on more than one at a time.

Aroma has notes of matchsticks, banana, wheat crackers, earth, clove. Flavors like the aroma along with a slight medicinal off-note.

Pour is a cloudy gold with a large white head. Aroma is a super spicy saaz hop. Flavor is likewise. All saaz hops with some neutral grain malt. A very hop forward pils. The can says German pils. While this has German ingredients this is way more of an Americanized pils with an overabundance of hops.
