Hop Gun
Camba Bavaria

 

Review: 0,33l brown bottle of Camba Bavaria Hop Gun: 6.4% vol.

Found the bottles to be quite heavy for some reason, a bit strange!

This beer won Best American Brown Ale at the World Beer Awards in 2016 in the country category. According to their website.

For the appearance I get a reddish brown looking beer, with a decent sized white head. Some nice carbonation. Head maintains well.

Some light lacing left on the glass.

Decent looking beer.

A very nice smell on the nose, lots of fruit aromas. Can get a hint of grapes, orange, peach, apricots, all lovely.

Hoppy taste at the start, hitting the senses right away. Also very fruity, getting the grapes and the apricot, and other fruits, well balanced, very well balanced with the hops.

Not much in bottle, which is always a disappointment.

Yeah it is ok, tasty enough to enjoy.

A beer to sip and enjoy over a long stretch in the evening. Alcohol well hidden. I feel its more like a Black IPA than a real ale.

Over time I got to enjoy this beer more, a deep bodied taste that goes down well, hoppy but manageable. Most of the pleasurable tastes are at the start. Would like to return to again for a further test.

0.33l can.

A good offering coming from the Camba beer series. Nice amber colour, medium body and a decent amount of hops. A well hidden alcohol content and a very refreshing taste overall.

 

From Costco. In Teku glass. Playing Bioshock Remastered, then Planets of War. Didnt find much of the usual profile of a brown ale and instead found some odd veggie hoppyness that is a bit unpleasant and even tartness

From the Kalea Bier Advents Kalender. From the bottle, it pours a clear coppery amber with a modest, thick head. Lacing. A nice touch of hops in the nose, and a touch of hoppy malt in the mouth. Very drinkable. Yum!

 

Dark copper, filtered with moderate carbonation and 2 fingers of beige head.

Smells of orange cream, a hint of pine and toasted notes.

Tastes of orange cream and dark toasted notes. Very light and vibrant.

Light body, moderate, prickly carbonation.

Got at Cent Fest a couple days ago, enjoying in Chiang Mai Feb 4th, 2017. Decent brew, really does remind me of an American ale, but more of an amber in my opinion.

Follows the nose plus strawberries and breadiness
F:
-medium carbonation
-light to medium body
O:
Really good overall, but certainly not a Brown Ale.
I'd categorize this more as an old school East Coast IPA

 

Picked this up at a great beer shop in Darmstadt, Germany, Maruhn Welt der Getränke. Clear amber-orange pour with a huge three finger foamy beige head with great retention and lacing. The nose is sweet and hoppy with hints of caramel, pine, tangerine, toffee, apricot, and nuts. The taste follows suit with a nice balance between the piney hops and the sweet caramel malts. Hints of tangerine, caramel, toffee, pine, brown bread, and brown sugar. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with light carbonation, good balance, and decent drinkability. Overall, the taste doesn't quite live up to the nose, but it's still solid and drinkable.
