Oskar Blues Mama’s Little Yella Pils
Beer-a-Day #294
Our new canned good is a delicious, 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 traditional (Saaz) and 21st century Bavarian hops. It’s the perfect antidote for the watered-down, cornfed versions of pilsner clogging America’s shelves. Our first canned lager, it’s also fermented at cool temperatures with a German yeast. While it’s rich with Czeched-out flavor, Mama’s gentle hopping (about 35 IBUs) and low ABV (just 5.3%) makes it a luxurious but low-dose beer. 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.
Classic yellow with a bit of haze and a finger’s worth of white head. Some floral aroma with a bit of that quasi-metallic lager yeast aroma. Clean and bready, if there is such a thing. A worthwhile brew.
No trackbacks yet.

A very pale beer brewed as a lager and which has a crisp, assertive Czechoslovakian Saaz hop character. This beer took 6 weeks to produce because the strain of yeast we used has a slow and cold fermentation, which results in a very smooth beer. 4.3% alcohol by volume.
This was the first Brewer’s Alley [...]

Made from the original 1873 recipe, our signature brew has a full-bodied taste, hoppy bouquet, golden color and rich full head. Your tasting notes might say something like “a slightly fruity but crisp firmness – ends with a clean dry finish,” but most people simply say, “Now that’s [...]

Halfway through the year, and I’ve just about exhausted the selection at my favorite retailer. I’ve taken to shopping with a list of things I shouldn’t get.

My wife and I had some friends over this evening. With our two kinds of salsa we had salmon cooked on the grill with lemon, vinegar, and cilantro. A light, Mexican beer seemed an appropriate accompaniment. Pacifico fit the bill nicely.
Pale straw with one finger of white head. Little aroma and very, very light [...]

Pale, pale yellow. White head. Aroma is very light, as is the flavor. I’d have it again.

Another “rule breaker” but what the hell.
Pale straw; white head. Slightly floral aroma. Light and refreshing, with a slightly fruity essence.
As I’ve said before, this is the beer those not-really-American beer giants wish they brewed.

I still can’t get over craft beer in cans. Totally alien over here, it sounds like a nice beer. Kudos.
