Oskar Blues Mama's Little Yella Pils
Oskar Blues is famous for a few things. Chief among them is bringing cans to the forefront of the craft brewing movement, which has resulted in some of the biggest craft breweries (Sierra Nevada and New Belgium) to begin canning their beers.
Dale's Pale Ale is their most recognized brew, and an outstanding pale ale. All their beers are quite tasty, including G'Knight (originally named Gordon, but Gordon Biersch requested they rename the beer.), and Gubna.
But, I digress. Mama's Little Yella Pils (LYP hereafter) is Oskar Blues pilsner. It pours a pale straw gold with a thin head. The nose is very malty. There is mild bitterness on the tongue but the finish is also pretty malty without being sweet. This is an all day session beer, and would make an excellent lawn mower beer. This is also a great craft beer introduction as ( and I mean this in the best possible sense) it is very similar to a macro brew lager.
Key contrasts between LYP and something like Sam Adams Noble Pils or Victory Prima Pils is the lack of an aggressive hop profile. This is a classic, highly rated pilsner. It's not cheap at $9/ six pack, but it is among my "go to" canned summer time brewster take to the pool.
If you don't understand all the fuss about craft beer, and prefer Bud, Miller, Corona, etc this might be a beer that could open your eyes. Try it, you'll like it!

Looking for opinions from the knowledable.
Question revolves around Black & Tan's
A friend swears by pre bottled Black & Tan's most noteably
from a PA brewery,Yuengling.
My preferenceis the Bass poured then Guiness Draught poured over a spoon.
But I wouldn't turn either down.
Not that there is necessarily a right or wrong answer, but I am interested in various opinions.
I did start to sort through the thread to see if this was discussed before,
So if this is an old topic, my apologies in advance.
