About

Hoop 1862 is the unfiltered pilsner from Brouwerij Hoop, located at the Zaanse Schans in Zaandijk. The name marks 1862, the year the last ship slid from the shipyard into the water – a pivotal moment in the maritime heritage of the Zaan region. This unfiltered pilsner delivers more flavour and character than its filtered counterparts. The nose reveals citrus and orange with subtle tropical fruit undertones. On the palate, fruity and lightly hoppy notes emerge alongside a pleasant bitterness. The finish is soft and malty, delivering a balanced aftertaste. At 4.5% ABV with a medium body, this is an approachable, refreshing pilsner that reflects the craft tradition of the Zaanstreek.
