Hopla! is a playful and versatile interjection similar to "there you go!" or "oopsies!" in regions with French and German influence.
The Alsace region is a picturesque province in France with a reputation for its viticulture and fairytale-like villages. However, it is also a prominent hop growing region, with unique varieties carving out their own niche in the brewing world.
Enter Alsatian pilsner. Although the style has a 99 year history, until recently it has spent most of those years in relative obscurity. Alsatian pilsners use locally grown hops, French pilsner malt, corn and often complex cereal & decoction mashes, setting them far apart from Czech and German styles.
For our take on the lost cousin of Czech and German pilsners, we used a beautiful Alsatian hop called Mistral from @comptoiragricole. Mistral is a modern variety which was bred from the classic Alsatian Strisselspalt hops. It delivers a complex bouquet of spicy and floral noble hops with distinct notes of citrus, melon and lychee. On the palate it is crisp and refined, with a clean bitter finish. And as always; Hopla! was naturally carbonated, and lagered with patience.

Poured a 355ml can into a pilsner glass. A one finger bubbly white head on a clear gold. The head diminished to a thin layer. Some patchy lacing.
Soft citrus and melon smells. The taste is malt forward, which is then overtaken by the hops. A moderately bitter noble hop finish.
A medium body and light carbonation. Overall an interesting Pilsner. Definitely set up to show off the Alsatian hops. Worth a try.
