Sep 22, 2006 From a bottle:
Aroma not as strong or full as I would like. Smells metallic.
Appearance is a lovely orangish amber color, slight head quickly dissapates. Moderate lacing,
The hops are overpowering in the flavor, and it’s hard to tste anything beyond them. Of course, I like hops and this beer is called Hop Pocket, so that isn’t a huge critiscism.
The beer is thin without being watery. Not enough malt notes for my taste.
It was aight for me--a little pitchy.

Sep 19, 2006 my first experience with a tupper’s brew since recently moving to the VA area. considereing that i got it from a grocery store, i would say this a dern good beer. nice robust aroma, deep honey color, and a suprisingly charactered flavor. rich malt undertones supported gracefully by strong hop influences. i get bits of spice, piney hops resin, subtle orange marmalade.

Sep 14, 2006 12oz. Bottle. It has a light hazy orange color with a beige head. The aroma is very nice, dominated by grassy hops with a scent of pine and fruit. It has a rounded taste of malts with notes of pine and a little citrus fruits. There is a good balance between sweetness and bitterness. It starts out with a fresh sweetness that turns into a smooth dry finish. The mount-feel is robust and rounded. A really nice beer!

Sep 4, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of R. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size lasting white head. Decent lacing. Nice hoppy aroma with some sweet malt to balance it out and a little fruit. Flavour of citrus and piney hops, sweet malt and a bitter finish. Medium bodied. A nice surprise, this was way better then I expected it to be, a very good APA.

Sep 3, 2006 The pour is a nice golden color with a white head. The aroma is pine hops, and that’s about it. The flavor is hoppy with a some malt, but pretty one dimensional overall. However, as far as APA’s go, this one stands out with a better palate than most.

Aug 29, 2006 Full, piney hop aroma,taste is primarily the piney hop,some malt backing,flavor doesn’t linger it seems to abruptly dry out,leaving the tingle of bitterness,not malty enough to be a pale ale,more an IPA

Aug 28, 2006 Golden in color. Pleasant hop aroma. With a name like Hop Pocket, hell just hop in the name, it would bite. It is a pale ale and that is all.
