Tuppers’ Hop Pocket Beers
Brewed at St. George Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Bethesda, Maryland USA

Straw yellow with a bit of cloudiness. Very white head is wispy and ephemeral Aroma is freshly floral, herbal and tingling with spiciness. Nicely creamy, yet aggressive with the hops and grainy, grassy flavors. This is an incredibly easy pilsner to like, one of the best I’ve had from the bottle.

Chamomile, flowery aroma mixed with dry hopped fill. You might get some lighter, sweeter malt. Creamy white head, hazy gold with decent carbonation. Rather thin bodied , dry accented . Malt underdeveloped, narrow beer hoppy beer.

Pours a hazy yellow with a chunky white head. Aroma of zesty spices and lemon, almost like a witbier. Flavor is clean and light, but pleasant and very drinkable. Hop profile is moderately bitter, and the finish is dry and sweet. Nice pils.

Very fine hops aroma, hazy golden, huge white head. Pleasing flavour of noble hops. Crisp, clean, good bitterness. Very good! Thanks Radek and Carolyne.

metallic. Dry hoppy character. Them saaz hops. Light-medium mouthfeel. Dry bitter hop leaf finish. An interesting pils though we had better over the course of the evening. Thanks for sharing, Radek.

Mine poured slightly cloudy because I wasn’t careful not to disturb the yeast--oh well. I guess this is a good thing because bottle conditioning is a sign of a brewer who really cares about their craft and is willing to let their beer spend extra time at the brewery despite the added expense. As per the commercial description, it does lead to a nice, tight head of fine bubbles. The nose is mostly hoppy but subdued. I’m getting a lot grassy (in a good way) European hops as well as citric American-type hop character. It sort of reminds me of a Dortmunder in this respect--a very good thing in my book. Carbonation is very frisky, assertive almost to the point of being obnoxious but not quite. Light bodied and quite refreshing but still flavorful enough to satisfy anyone with an open enough mind to enjoy these pale lager styles. And to me, this beer holds a clinic on why lighter styles can be some of the most satisfying for the discriminating geek. It’s got enough flavor to keep things interesting but it’s devastatingly drinkable. Mine’s going to be gone in less than fifteen minutes without me even thinking about it or trying. Damn. I want more.

12.04.04 12oz bottle. Don’t know when this stuff started showing up in NJ, but I’m not sad about it. Pale straw with some hazy clouding and a big, fluffy, white head. Pure lemongrass aroma with hints of fresh grains and banana pepper. Not much visible eff. Fresh and sharp flavors. Brisk, refresing, crisp citrus and bell pepper. Very enjoyable brew.

On tap at the pub. Ahh, this is what a pilsner is supposed to be. Pleasant hop aroma, flowery and kind of fruity. Pale golden color, thick white head. Clean flavor, pale malt, noble hops, solid bitterness - nothing more, nothing less. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Wonderful example of the style, pure malt and hops.
