hop gun

At first glance you would expect Camba Bavarias Hop Gun to be a juicy India Pale Ale. This type of beer is usually hoppy and doesn’t hold back when it comes to quality. The fine beer from Chiemsee is a so-called Dry Hop Brown Ale, a cold-hopped brown beer. The copper-red creation is brewed with Pilsner, Munich and caramel malts and packed with Select, Simcoe and Amarillo hops. The whopping 6.4% alcohol content is well integrated into the strong taste.

Hop Gun flows into the glass in a shimmering ruby-red brown tone and completes its attractive appearance with a fluffy crown of dense-pored, ivory-colored foam. A scent of dried apricots, raisins and cranberries wafts into your nose from the sturdy hood. Fresh hops round off the olfactory first impression and awaken your thirst for beer. The initial drink emits a fruity aromatic play of apricot, peach and nectarine notes. Over the course of drinking enjoyment, green hints of hops and a harmonious bitterness are added. The brilliant finale brings delicate caramel and cranberry to the tongue.

The successful full beer is a wonderful accompaniment to hearty dishes. We’re imagining slow-braised lamb with beans fried in bacon. Plus a dollop of buttery mashed potatoes, some herb butter and a sauce with wild mushrooms and thyme.
