      G'Knight don't take prisoners. I'm sitting here soaked in G'Knight and realizing what the Face did to me. A low but steady head came up on the pour. Nothing to fluffy for me though, i dove right in. The scent was a sweet, red ale, smell before impact and boom! A nice mix of hop and malt played out on me. The follicles could tell this one was bitter but sweet. This was fairly easy drinking as the Face sipped on. That could be a quick problem though. 8.7% and not really the taste of an imperial. This mustache is leaning on the wax again after a can of this one. 
      G'Knight has a nice mix of earthy tastes to it. I was surprised as the hops seemed to give earthy hints and the malts almost gave it a biscuit taste. This one is a red ale that doesn't stop. High on flavor, and high on alcohol, this is what a imperial beer should be. Two cans of this Dales Pale and Mama's Little Yella Pills would make a great six pack. I think I'll go get one once I sober up.

Mama's Little Yella Pils

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Mama's Little Yella Pils

• Brewery:Oskar Blues (Colorado)

• Style: Bohemian Style Pilsner

• ABV: 5.3%

• IBU:35

• Pour Color: A nice golden color nearly transparent

 

      A great golden color on the pour. The head was nice and fluffy. After 3 or 4 sips it still held strong to me but my wax prevailed finally taking the fluffy cloud down. A nice mix of sweetness and only a slight bitterness makes this a great beer. A real hop flavor that's nice and crisp is complemented well with it's malt finish. If mama's got some yella pils I'd steal a few.
     This little can, can be found pretty close to it's big brother Dale's Pale Ale. Another example that cans mean little when enjoying a great beer. Mama's lil yella pils is a great name for a great pilsner. Forget the mass produced crud they call pilsners and get one of these.
