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.

Too sweet, lacks hop aroma and flavor and fails to justify its relatively high price tag. On the other hand, there is no sour mash off-flavor. The simple, sugary malt flavor isn’t counterbalanced properly and just makes me think of the taste of pale malt extract.

Bright golden color with a large, fluffy white head that settles slowly and leaves very good lacing. Aroma has malts and pepper, with a bit of citrus. Flavor is bitter throughout, especially at the finish. Some licorice. Thin body. Decent pils example, but pales in comparison to others from this brewer.

12 oz can. Slightly expired--hopefully it won’t affect my ranking. Aroma is crisp, hoppy, full of grain. Pours cloudy gold with a thick rocky head, rockin lacing. Taste is slightly acidic, sweet, and finishes bitter. Finish is somewhat abrupt. So far the least satisfying beer I’ve had from this brewery. Still, not half bad.

tap at the Lyons brewpub - Pours clear yellow with a lingering white head. It smells of bready, fruity malt and some hops. The flavor features good crisp hops with the fruit and bready notes coming through as well. It’s a very good pils.

This is a super-solid little pilsner. I’ve been drinking a lot of big beers lately and this guy actually stands up to them in its own way. Poured a pleasant yellow-gold with a subtle, fleeting white head. Aroma of mild hops and grain. A slightly sweet taste with notes of bread and a mild bite. Robust yet quite refreshing.

Can 35,5 cl. Clear yellow with a dense white head. Fairly malty nose. Medium body, malt and sulphur with a dry and hoppy finish. Alright I guess, but somehow had expected more from Oscar Blues. 060709

can, pours light gold, medium frothy white head. Huge Saaz aroma with some floral notes and a peppercorn aroma in the background. Extremely clean and crisp light malt lends a nice background to a light and fresh hop finish that is dry. Crisp mouthfeel due to medium carbonation and a light body, This is highly drinkable and refreshing as hell.
