Oskar Blues Mamas Little Yella Pils

Brewed by Oskar Blues Grill & Brew
Style: Pilsener
Lyons, Colorado USA

aroma - all yeast and crystal malts, no hops present. it smells crisp, like lemon juice with subtle grapefruit and undertones of banana peel. appearance? light golden straw crossed with dehydrated urine, hehehe. Taste - mellow, crisp, juicy citrus, faint tropical fruit, minimal salty finish. great with sushi and sashimi. lighter fare paired on purpose. tasty from the can. slight spice from carbonation, not from flavor. Yella Pils needs food.

The Dan Journal #301. Tasted 9/14/09. 12oz Can. Filtered with a brigth honey golden hue. White ring of head. Trace nose. Light to medium bodied with a big tingling effervescence. Bright flavors. Cereal grains in the malt bill and a decent hop punch. Hits the tart and the bitter.

Can from Cracked Kettle. Nice yellow body with top head. Nice hoppy nose. Lots of hops and citrus in the flavour. Nice pine finish. Another excellent canned product by the Oskar Blues guys. Very good.

Can, bought @ Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Hazy golden with a big, frothy, white head. Fair duration, though it fizzes a bit. Nice grassy Saaz hop aroma. Slightly spicy with some fine sweet maltiness. A touch of pepper. Low carbonation, lovely dry mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and some chewy malts. There is really a fine, spicy and grassy hoppiness. Long lingering bitterness with a slight sugary edge. Nice.

Can at Mellow Mushroom - Brandon. Poured clear amber color with an average white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate hopand yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

Tap @ Ginger Man, Greenwich. Sharp pilsener with lemon, black pepper and ginger notes.Crisp dry palate. Good stuff!

Not a bad pils, but not a great one, either. The beer pours a bright and semi-cloudy golden color. The head is white, ample and sticky. The head leaves a great amount of lacing around the glass. The nose is full of sticky and floral hops, bread, yeast and grass. The body is extremely smooth, allowing this pils to be enjoyed multiple times throughout the evening (and possibly into the night....and morning). Flavors notes are of crisp, bright, dry and spicy hops, bread, grass, lemon zest and a sweet note of malt. The aftertaste contains a lot of bready and sweeter notes.

Can. Light aromas of straw, herbs and cooked vegetables. Head is small, fizzy, white with no lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is sparkling clear light yellow/amber. Flavor starts moderately acidicand finishes moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery, with a lively to fizzy carbonation and a dry finish. Something about the finish in flavor and feel didn’t seem quite right to me.
