Brouwerij Hoop - Hula Hula
Brouwerij Hoop is a microbrewery and restaurant situated just north of Amsterdam and this is their 0.3 % ABV "tropical non IPA." The ingredients within the 330 ml bottle include barley, oats and Simcoe hops. Tropical is the word too as you inhale from the glass - and this fruity medley continues when one comes to drink it - mango, guava, passion fruit and apricot, all of which are well-balanced and there is a smooth mouthfeel. The carbonation is low as is the bitterness; sweetness being the overriding sensation and this follows through to the finish. One of the more complex "fruit bombs" seemingly dominating the AF beer market at present.
