Morphology
traditional + hoppy + beer
Each word's meaning composes directly: 'beer' (a brewed beverage) modified by 'hoppy' (tasting strongly of hops) and 'traditional' (in a customary/classic style), so a learner who knows the parts can infer it refers to a classic/style beer with a strong hop flavor. This is a straightforward adjective + noun composition common across languages and therefore immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Traditional hoppy beer gets its name from hops, the green cone-shaped flowers brewers have used for a long time to give beer a bitter, strong smell and taste. So traditional hoppy beer means a beer with a 'strong hop flavor' and a bold, often 'bitter' taste.
