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 it’s 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.
“Brasserie du Dzô” is a contraction of the word “Dzojè”, which means Joseph in the Fribourg dialect, a nickname given to the local residents. 
Coming in a small lovely shaped bottle, with an interesting logo of the brewery, a lamb, in black and white with a fork like weapon! Apparently its based on the old family coat of arms. It is pretty cool though. 
Bit of a shock initially, a bit of a “eh, what!”. Very hoppy at the start, took a while to get used to that strong taste.
