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.

Currently not produced (as of 12/31/07) Hopefully it will find a new home!

I’m not a huge fan of pils, so keep that in mind as you read my review. This beer has a huge negative in my book. It pours with a huge head. Now don’t get me wrong....I like a thick head, but this is ridiculous (I docked it appearance points for this attribute). My first pour I got an entire pint of foam. This beer took about 10 minutes to get it into my pint glass. The aroma is hoppy and smells like a pils. The flavor is malty with some nice hop notes. This might be the best pils I’ve tasted. The carbonation level was lower then expected after my problems getting it into a glass. The body is nice and smooth on this beer. If I was in the mood for a pils, I would definitely reach for this one.....the ten minutes to pour it are well worth it.

Bottle, pours with a nice lively carbonation forming a generous head that slowly collapses leaving light, wispy lace on the glass. Aroma is full of floral, continental hops. Yeast character smells czech. Well rounded flavor, many earthy, grassy, lemony components. An impressively well brewed beer, very delicious.

Nov. 2006 - I was actually quite liking this one. Poured yellow pilsner color with a bunch of fizzy bubbles obscurring it’s clearness. Aroma of malt and grassiness came from the pour. Nice yellow head, lacing all over the glass. The flavor was a nice...lemony, grassy, floral with a really crisp pronounced hop bite. Refreshing!

Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a lacy white head. Light body, fine carbonation. Pine, biscuit and grass on the nose and tongue. A nice, drinkable Pils.

12-oz. Cloudy lemony yellow. Fizzy white head. Laceless. Nutty, grassy nose. Nice light body with plenty of firm carb. Biscuity and toasty with a nice long dry finish. Very nicely done.
