Mama's Little Yella Pils - Our upcoming new canned good is a small-batch version of the beer that made Pilsen, Czechoslovakia famous. Mama's is made with hearty amounts of pale malt, German specialty malts, and a blend of traditional (Saaz) and 21st century Bavarian hops. Our first canned lager, it's also fermented at cool temperatures with a German yeast.
This tasteful reality Czech is the perfect antidote for the watered-down versions of pilsner clogging Americaâ's shelves. And Mama's gentle hopping (about 33 IBUs) and low ABV (just 4.7%) mean we're finally honoring consumer requests for a delicious but less-challenging beer. (Hey, we like a good low-dose session beer, too.) Look for our Gold Metal Winner on US shelves in March.
Sadly, the Feds rejected our Take Two and Call Us in the Morning line on the can.

330ml can from Utobeer. You gotta have some guts exporting a pilsner to Europe, mind you I bought one! Very sweet pilsner style but drinkable.

The appearance has a clear bubbly yellow body, bubbles really cling to the sides of the glass, two finger white foamy head rises and leaves a fair amount of nice foamy lacing in its wake and then gently falls.
The smell is a bit grassy, with a little bit of hay, corn and light hops, but a strong presence of malts comes through as well.
The taste has all of the previously mentioned flavors combine in a semi-sweet sort of way but comes across fairly light. There is a slight sweet corn aftertaste and a sticky malty finish.
On the palate, its light and sessionable. Carbonation seems really light (under-carbonated a bit, hmmm....unsure).
Overall, its a mostly average Czech Pilsener, nothing to scream about, but would probably have again perhaps with food.

Pilsener borderin on a lager, lots of cereal notes minus the crisp hops of the German style. Pale golden with small creamy head. If you like macro brew, you’ll like this.

From a can. Glad to se OB showing up in Boise again after a few years. Slightly hazy straw yellow with a nice bright white head. Sweet cereal and light malt aroma. Classic Pilsener flavor but sweeter and quite a bit less of the familiar czech hop notes. Actually a bit of a departure there from the traditional. Still, very tasty and makes me dislike the style less...

Minimal trübes goldgelbes Pils, starke Karbonation, schöne stabile Schaumkrone. Geruch leicht hopfig, malzig, getreidig. Geschmack sehr herb fruchtig. Auch im Nachgeschmack noch bitter!

A very golden pour, light carbonation, little head retention, thin lace. Bready, cereal aroma, nice body, creamy mouthfeel, clean finish. Good Czech Pilsner typicity, but not great, although refreshing.

19.2 ounce can. Pale yellow gold color with a a big rocky white head. Nice bready malt aroma with notes of caramel and floral hops. Mild toasted malt flavor with a touch of vanilla and spicy hops. Very smooth and drinkable.

Can from Brewdog online shop. Pours clear yellow, good white head, kept there by high carbonation. Excellent grassy, spicy, floral aromas, with the bready malt and cooked vegetables you’d expect from the style. Taste is light bitter, light sweet. Palate errs towards being a little sticky, but otherwise a solid pils.
