Unfiltered amber-hued pilsner with musty fertilizer aroma, blackened mocha malt bittering, and brisk hop-spiced tingle. Quite filling and rich for watery brew (much like British lagers). Always assured in its uniformity of purpose.
TUPPERS HOP POCKET ALE
Exquisite golden harvest ale recalls organically crafted Oregon ales with its dry piney-hopped bitterness, lively grain-malt interaction, and brisk water flow. Maple-sapped barley roast and floral-accented nectarine tang illuminate bold mocha finish.
(TUNNER’S) ROCK RIVER LAGER
Acidic carbolic nature encroaches thinly veiled barley strand and timid pale malt pleasantry. Muddled graining and lack of distinction also help deep six medium-bodied dullard.
(TUNNER’S) PIEDMONT PORTER
Dryly bitter porter with coffee-burnt dark chocolate creaminess retains semi-rich mocha malt finish. Neither as bold nor as filling as most porters, leaving only trace of roasted cocoa at washed-out toasted grain finish.
(TUNNER’S) BERKSHIRE SPRINGS STOCK ALE
Buttery chocolate malt creaminess, fizz-hopped nutty caramel dirge, and wavered fruit esters give loosely defined stock ale an apparent light porter essence. Oxidized chemical insistence leads to metallic overload. Rich, robust up-front; losing steam by bleak finish.
(TUNNER’S) BARBARY COAST GOLD RUSH STYLE PILSNER
Iceless fermentation creates tamped down hop dryness above sour vegetative pungency and unwelcome tinniness. Sweet rye malt blandness and ester-y cherry-grape subsidy cannot overcome indistinguishable oeuvre.
TUCKERMAN PALE ALE
Blending wheat cracker tepidity with unripe citric blandness and orange peel bittering, this casual cardboard-y dry amber lacks distinction.
TUCHER WEIZEN
Pours light for heavily carbonated wheat beer. Tangy citric fragrance, tongue-tickling hop fizz, and fine German water provide initial soft tone. Orange peel midst brings out moderate bitterness. But weak pale malt finish dissipates too quickly.
TUCHER KRISTALL WEIZEN
Water-crisped banana-clove overlay gets summery lemon hop fizz. By dry finish, light grain convoy covers citric notes. Ultimately too mild for serious beer hounds.
TUCHER HELLES HEFE WEIZEN
Sunny yellow turbidity, frisky floral nose, and dry fruited mouthfeel offer summery appeal. But fizzy phenol flow disrupts lilting grapefruit-banana tartness, clove-coriander glint and bubblegum hint to buttery yeast bottom. Modest wheat sentiment stabilizes spry citric outlay.
TUCHER DUNKLES HEFE WEIZEN
Silken caramel-wafted bubbly-fizzed dark lager layers honeyed wheat sweetness above yellow fruiting of copper-hued tan-headed moderate-bodied German. Perfumed hops, satiny fruits, and clove spicing reach soft crystal malt finish, providing uncommon lilt.
TUCHER BAJUVATOR DOPPELBOCT
Smooth double bock flaunts sweet candy waft, caramelized barleymalt stickiness, and ascending chocolate overtones. Rich yeast adds appealing density to otherwise easy finishing bock.
