Commercial Description:
Tuppers’ Hop Pocket Pils is made via a complex hopping schedule which includes dry hopping for weeks over whole-flower Saaz and Mt. Hood hops. Also used are Saaz, Mittelfruh, Spalt and Mt. Hood in the kettle. The beer is bottled and keg conditioned which provides very fine carbonation and a fine head.

bright caution-light yellow, with-- no suprise-- a big classic, fresh lager merangue white head. chunky crud within like undissolved soap granules in the washing machine. aroma likewise is bright-- fruitiness suggesting gewurztraminer grapes, a tablespoon of minced pine needles and spearmint, sugar cookies and bubbling yeast. lively carbonation awakens the tongue and drenches it with an apparent mixture of white wine and quinine bitter tonic water. nice balance-- woody, very lightly sweet, honey and sopapia, corn husk grain flavors entangling with pine and citrus nectars. an aggressive offering in a style known for demure and refined subtlety-- it's an imperial pils!

Light orange with nice creamy head. Highly hopped but primarily malt character with an excellent citric edge along the lines of Czech pilsners. I like this.

Golden yellow color. Medium head. Aroma is floral hops and citrusy. A medium bodied pilsner. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and floral. This is a hoppy beer for a pilsner; it definitely has some flavor and some bite to it. There is a touch of tartness/sourness that while unexpected, is still rather pleasant. A nice, easy drinking, refreshing pilsner. It looks like a fizzy yellow beer, but its not. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Hazy, unfiltered lemon yellow body. Aroma of fresh cut grass, citrus, and a hint of esters that are unexpected in a pils. Nice crisp palate. A fine session brew.

Pale golden coloring with a tall white head. Nice spicy hop aroma. Smooth beer, with a pleasing light hoppiness balanced by a faint maltiness. A refreshing, lightly bitter aftertaste.

Pale with fine bubbled, voluminous white head. Odd dusty hoppy flavour with some strange spiciness too, dustily dry finish.

Gold color, shiny and metallic looking but nice sized zesty head and light creamy lacing. Aroma is delicate with its mix of european biscuity malt and noble hops. Flavor is rich for a pils and has just the right amount of flavors so you can still taste it even after a 6-pack. Very well done!

Nice yellow color with a hoppy white head. Decent aroma. A hoppy pilsener. More than what I expected! A good brew! Bought this bottle at RFD in Washington, D.C.
