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. It pours a faintly hazy golden body under a dense, off-white head leaving nice lacing. The aroma has a delicate malt touch, with grassy, lightly piney hops, some hay and a hint of generic fruityness. It’s medium to full-bodied, with a smooth carbonation. Perhaps a bit sweet, but it’s far, far from cloying, and with a decent bitterness to deal with it. Light biscuity malts in the back, white bread crust, grains and a pleasant hoppy flavor of grass and pine cone notes. Sort of floral, with hints of hay. Long fruity-sweet finish with malts and hops in a fine combination. Well, I’d like it a bit drier, but it’s a fine brew indeed. 160822

Can @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Amber-gold with a thin head and a carbonation. Grittier pilsner in texture and taste, with a crispness. Has some fruitiness in its aroma.

355 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Jørpeland. ABV is 5.3%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Fairly nice grassy and herbal aroma. The flavour is a tad too sweet for my liking, but still fairly crisp due to decent hops. Hints of honey and herbs.

Can. Pours clear yellow, with a big creamy head. Aroma is some zesty hops with citrusy notes, as well light malts with cereals. Medium body, with soft to average carbonation. Flavour is herbal hops, with citrus and grassy notes, as well as malts with cereals and toffee. Some herbal bitterness in the finish. More like a pale lager than a pilsner, although a quaffable and moreish one.

14.07.2016, 12 oz can @ home:
Big fizzy-creamy longlasting head. Aroma is slightly dry grassy, weeds, hay, minerals, light malts, grass, leafs, bark, tiny hints of boiled vegetables. Taste is slightly dry mineraly, weeds, minerals, hay, bark, light malts, grass, paper, hints of cereal and medicine. Medium bitterness, slightly dry and harsh mouthfeel. Fair enough.
