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.

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.

Straight from the 12 oz can. Crisp, light hop, light malt light bitterness. Just a decent example of the all-American style, but nothing to get excited about.

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 2/25/2013. Pours lightly hazy and cloudy golden straw color with a nice 1-2 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon, pear, cracker, bread, pepper, floral, grass, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of malt, hop, and yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, pear, bread, cracker, floral, grass, light pepper, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of light fruits, bread, cracker, floral, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a bit. Nice balance of malt, hop, and yeast flavors; with good robustness and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and moderately crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a nice pilsner style. Good balance of hop, malt, and yeast flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Can. Gold with a white head. Lemon/ spice/ flowery hop aroma with hay and honey. Vague and saggy sweetness with pleasant bitterness that has to struggle a bit rather than just pop out. The hops are nice, the malt decidedly not what I like in a pils.

Growler from the Beer Growler in Alpharetta. Light corn color, with a big, fluffy, white head, just like a Pilsener ought to look. Great citrus aroma, hay, bananas, and corn. Very sweet flavor, with a sharp, pils bitterness throughout. Medium body, slick and creamy mouthfeel. Overall, this is a nice, flavorful, and complex pilsener. I’m impressed.

12 oz. can. Pours gold with a nice, frothy, white head. the aroma is hay, floral hops, and pilsener malts. The flavor is sweet, quite bitter, and spicy. The palate is light to medium and astringent, with fairly lively carbonation and a mild, bitter aftertaste. This is a nice, flavorful and lively pilsener.
