Commercial Description: Yaya raised a rebel who grew up to have dirt on his face, sweat on his brow, and beer in his blood. That’s why Mama’s Little Yella Pils is an uncompromising, hand crafted version of the great Pilsner beers of Bavaria and Bohemia. Unlike mass market pilsners diluted with corn and rice, Mama’s is built on pilsner and honey malt then hopped with Saaz and Aramis hops. While it’s rich with flavor, its 33 IBUs and 4.7% ABV make it a luxurious but low-dose (by Oskar Blues standards) refresher. It’s damn good, crushable beer. Take two and call us in the morning.

Appearance

The Pils pours a mostly-clear straw and is topped by a puffy white cap of foam that shows fair retention. The reduction leaves behind some sticky lace.

Aroma

The aroma consists of cracker malt along with floral and spicy hops.

Flavor

The palate blends noble hops that are spicy, floral, and grassy with cracker malt, yeast, and a touch of honey.

Mouthfeel

Its feel is crisp and relatively dry with a medium-light body and moderate carbonation.

Overall

Its appearance is solid and though the aroma and palate are straightforward Pils, they’re well crafted and thoroughly enjoyable. Light and easily quaffed, Mama’s Little Yella Pils is a lovely session brew.
