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.

Golden; refined hop aroma; biscuity malts underneath honeyish, floral hops (Mt Hood influence); smooth palate, crisp finish. Simple but effective.

(12-6-05) Lightly hazed straw with white head. Aroma is medium sweet, hay, apple juice. Taste is moderaetly sweet, peach, some earthy, apple, honey, fairly mild bite. Watery light-medium body -- limited crispness but nicely drinkable. This is nothing like the beer I remember drinking in the past, and I liked the previous version. (5/3/6/3/11)

(1-3-03) Hazy golden body with minimal head. Aroma is lemony tart, some German and floral hoppiness, and undertone of malt. Taste is German hoppy and lemony, very bitter aftertaste. Medium body and crisp. (6/4/6/4/13)

Bottled on August 12, 2004. Poured a medium, hazy yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of strong straw, grasses, flowers and light citrus. Tastes of spices, straw, and lemons. Very good pilsner.

12oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is grain/maybe wheat, hops-sight spicy/floral. Taste is light/medium malt/maybe wheat, hops-light spicy/floral. Light/medium body. Creamy mouth feel. OK carbonation.

bottle, unfiltered, room temperature in a lager glass: Appearance is a golden liquid, shining and appealing, beautiful. Big sticky mountainous frothy head is diminishing, but leaves a good 2cm for a long time. Excellent balanced aroma of fresh harvested hops, I'd have thought a mix of Saaz and Cascade, but description tells me not. Malt profile is closing to honey in nose, but quite restrained in mouth, maybe a sweet peat moss aspect. Pretty dry all the way, very herbal with a nice creamy/powdery texture. Surprisingly a mild alcohol note toward the finish.. Good, but I expected more following Jackson's praise. Thanks Mike!

I like this one even less than the Hop Pocket ale. Lots of folks enjoy it... check out other ratings for accurate verbiage. I can’t stay far enough away from this beer. Too earthy and bitter in all the wrong ways. Just my opinion.
