Tuppers Hop Pocket Pils

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

Golden liquid with a lot of foam. It has a slight bitterness at the end. I’m not that crazy over beer with strong hops.

This brew has an intensely complex nose. Dry like a belgian wit, full of Saaz like a good pilz and delicately yeasty. Foam everywhere. Like theres a fraternity foam party in my glass. Pale color white frothy head. Flavors are intensely delciate and strikingly bitter. Floral, light and airy with a hint of black pepper or coriander even. Finishing with a nice dry bitterness. This is a good pilz. G-rat

Good looking pale body with plenty of bubbles. Aromatic citric hop scents paved the way for a similar flavor with a tart finish. Crisp drink. Nice.

i love old dominion beers. slightly cloudy with a light gold color and a nice white head. A nice hops aroma with a bit of citrus. Tastes almost like it smells but with a nice bitterness at the end.

Gold body with a soft fluffy white head. Earthy hop nose with a little carmelized malts. Light Mouthfeel with mild bread and caramel matlts backed up by erbal and earthy bitterness. Finnishes earthy with light malts.

This was a slight disappointment for me. Everything seemed in order except initial taste was lacking. I expected more. My feelings were subsequently confirmed as the finish was weak too. Perhaps my tastebuds were tainted from the Jever I had immediately prior to the Tuppers...

Slightly cloudy yellow color with an big white head. Sweet citrus aroma. Flavor of citrus and hops. Long finsih.

Although I think on average American craft beer is some of the best in the world, I have always lamented the lack of a good pils, especially after spending a few years in Germany. I lived in Bremen and missed the dry, almost astringent Pils such as Jever or Koenigs Pils. Now after tasting this beer and Prima Pils, my faith in a good domestic pils is beginning to be restored. Pours a pale yellow, gold with a good but not as dense a head as I would like. Smell hay, grass, malt and those wonderful Saaz hops. Taste is right on, with a nice mild bitterness at the end that I like that even many German Pils lack. While not as astringent as a Jever, it is a little fresher and richer tasting. All in all this is a real pils, every bit as good as a German pils. Now if I could only buy a sixer of this as cheap here as a sixer of Jever is in Germany....
