Tuppers' Hop Pocket Ale from Tuppers' Hop Pocket Brewing Company
Rating: B
Appearance: Amber-orange color, one finger head, decent retention. Some lacing. Not as clear as it could be, but jostling during transportation is probably to blame.
Smell: fresh hops aroma, but more subtle than I was expecting. Very "clean" smelling, with some caramel malt present as well.
Taste: More like a watered down DIPA than an AIPA. Sweet malts are the first thing to hit the tongue. Doesn't finish as dry as I prefer. Hard to describe the hops characteristics, as one particular flavor doesn't sound out. The aftertaste is quite piney, though.
Mouthfeel: Thicker mouthfeel than I was expecting. Good carbonation.
Drinkability: Not bad, but not great. DIPA-light is a good description.
Serving type: bottle
