Chiemsee Hopla

Camba Bavaria
Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Dry-Hop Lager · One of 1 Dry-Hop Lagers in hopIQ

Camba's Hopla is a dry-hopped lager that doesn't try to hide what it is: a clean, lagered base with fresh hop aromatics laid on top like pollen on a spring morning. Light, crisp, and mineral-driven, it walks the line between lager restraint and hop expression. A beer for when you want aroma without the weight of a full IPA.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Chiemsee Hopla

Appearance

Hopla presents a pale golden hue, luminous and clean, with excellent clarity that showcases the beer's light body. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is lively and even throughout, characteristic of a well-lagered beer.

Aroma

The nose leads with fresh, resinous hop character—piney and citrusy notes emerge immediately without any oxidative wear. A light mineral undertone supports the aromatics, while subtle floral notes add complexity. Malt remains restrained, allowing the dry-hop treatment to occupy the foreground as the beer warms slightly.

Taste

The palate is crisp and clean, entering with a bright hop bite that unfolds into piney and citrus flavors. A light mineral minerality runs through the mid-palate, balanced by soft bready malt notes that anchor the beer without adding sweetness. Bitterness is moderate and structured, finishing dry rather than sharp.

Finish

The finish is short to medium, clean and refreshing, with hop bitterness fading to a dry, mineral aftertaste. No residual sweetness lingers; the beer leaves the palate ready for the next sip.
