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.

Pours a pale golden brew with some hazy texture. Later the bottle told me this was due to it not being filtered. The head was thick and offwhite. The aroma had some fruity hop hints, a little sweet, and some grass and corn. The flavor tasted like a beefed up macro pilsner, a slight sour taste. The aroma was much better. The palate and finish were crisp and cleansing.

Bottled - Pours a hazy yellow..Lots of hops and breadiness in the nose... Flavor has a slight hoppy/grass taste with some lemon zest... Not bad..

orange, head is sticky to the glass, thin. Not as much Saaz in the aroma or flavor as I’d like, but still pretty tasty. Flavor is somewhat floral with a caramelly hint. I think this beer may be slightly oxidized. Not too bad at all.

Hazy orangeish yellow with a moderate sized head. Head dissipates quickly but leaves behind good lacing. Nose of fruit and hops, the latter of which has a fairly complex profile (citrus and herbs). Thin body but significant carbonation makes a tactile impression. Malt is biscuity but very subtle, apparent only on the back end. Hops are mouthwatering, even from front to back, and pleasantly (not aggressively) bitter. Finish is sweetest, but still relatively dry and bitter. An interesting, satisfying, even sessionable pils that over-delivers for both the ABV and price.

12 oz bottle. Pale yellow with some serious white head. Leaves spots of lace half way down the glass as it settles. Lemon candies, mild dough. Rather sharp but not really a hop bite. Bitter lemon with a few sweet spots. A long bready finish with black pepper. Light carb, somewhat watery.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of hops, spices, and citrus. Bitter, citrus, sweet malts, and carbonation. Good beer.

Bottle sampled with Beerded_one. Pours hazy golden with a decent sized white head with good retention. Aroma of floral hops, spices, and citrus. The flavor is spicey, bitter, floral, dry finish. Good body, good pilsner.

Pours yellow with lots of carbonation and a huge white head. The aroma has smooth maltiness of a pils with more spicy hops that normal. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Taste is lightly husky malt that has some slickness and a little bit of a spicy bite. The finish get signficantly hoppier with more spice and a bit of pine. The finish is very crisp and refreshing. A very nicely done pils. I wish this was sold here in St. Louis. Oh well, there are always road trips to pick it up.
