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. Light buttery yeasty aroma on saaz. Pale clear golden. Honeyish malt, slight salt and butter notes, well balanced by the hops. Chewy body., Mellow. Pleasant, but not super harmonic IMO.

Poured a dark yellow color with a nice foamy head with good retention. Very good balance between malt and hops. Lots of grass notes. Nice Saaz bite. Crisp dry finish. Fairly simple, but nearly tied with CCB Patio Pils as the best American pilsner I’ve had so far. Real good for the style.

Can sample at a tasting at Dancing Camel. Thanks zvikar. Hazy orange. Aroma of cookie-ish malt, grainy notes and some slightly floral hops. Flavor has a bit of malt sweetness and a mildly bitter finish with some floral and grassy hops. Medium-bodied.
