From Apr 2007

This pours from 12oz bottle(bottled 011807) a slightly hazy a medium gold with a small head of foam that soon diminishes to a few islands in the middle. Just a wee bit of lacing to be found.

The smell is a nice mix of firstly, grassy and citrusy hops; secondly of some caramel malt. Good nose.

The taste on first sip is an abundance of grass and grapefruit. I can certainly tell that this is dry hopped..it has that certain "twang" that I so enjoy in brews that are hop dominated.

Further sips in and the malt profile becomes more noticeable, and does a really god job of semi balancing out the hoppiness. It shines the most when I swish the ale in my mouth. Yummy.

The mouthfeel is full and the finish starts off bitter but actually ends on a sweet note for me....I love that aftertaste.

Bottom line: Another brew provided by jwc215 and I couldn't be happier. A ton of complex flavour and oh, so, drinkable. Many thanks, my friend!!

Rated from old notes. Dark gold, strong, lot and lots of hops but still well balanced.

Hazy deep amber coloured body with a touch of a copper glow and a very thin, centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of some nice earthy and nutty hops, with a good amount of malt and a bit of bread alongside. Medium-bodied; Strong earthy and nutty flavour from the malt especially, but showing some of the same hoppy elements, with a bit of sugars, some light fruit, and more caramelised notes everywhere. Aftertaste shows a little more pungent hop notes with some citrus and pine coming out, but htis is all about the malt and caramel. Overall, a decent beer perhaps, but with a name like Tupper, I expected so much more - from two of the best beers around the MidAtlantic. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in [Old Town] Alexandria, Virginia on 28-December-2014 for US$11,99 sampled at home in Washington on 05-April-2015.

Keg at Lost Rhino. Pours a clear amber with a thin creamy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of strong rye, citrus and pine, honey. The taste is rye, citrus and caramel. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.

Draft. Clear dark amber color, thick tan head with good retention and solid lacing. Aroma of fruitcake. Taste is spiced fruitcake.

22oz bottle pours a clear, dark orange with some creamy, cream colored head. Nose has orange, soap, mild spice, a little candy. Flavor is malty, candy, orange, a little stevia, mild pine. Full bodied, sticky finish.

From a bottle at the DC Ratebeer event Dec. 6, 2014. Pours a hazy copper with a thick ecru head. Fruity nose. Flavors of orange and pinapple. Bitter finish.

Draft at the brewpub. Chewy, pine and orange notes. Pretty tasty citrus, with some rye spice notes. A touch sweet, but still pretty delicious. Alcohol comes through in the finish, though is pretty well masked for almost 10%.
