Description
Welcome at Heaps of Hops, the Amsterdam based craft brewing company.
We make lower alcohol craft beers, so-called session ales. Our beers are full flavor crafts, but easy on the alcohol.. By using lots of hops in our recipes the taste is as you would expect of a passionately crafted beer!

So, what’s Heaps? Heaps is Australian slang, often used to say there is a lot of something. They use it for almost anything, such as ‘heaps of stars’, ‘heaps of fun’ and ‘heaps cool’. It was in Australia where the idea for Heaps of Hops beers was born during a round the world motorbike trip in 2016. After drinking many local beers and tasting some great lower alcohol beers, the idea for Heaps of Hops came to life.

Our motto is ‘because less is more’. We brew with less malts and more hops. Therefore our beers have less alcohol but more taste, and less calories to keep you more fit!

Presented as a session NEIPA. Hazy golden yellow colour (but not completely opaque murky like usually). Stiff, frothy off white head with good lacing. Aroma's of dank hops and citrus, along with a touch of tropical fruit. Retronasal it's dank, herbal and somewhat resinous. Flavour is light bitter with a touch of citrussy sourness. Light bodied, but not too thin. Quite high carbonation. Long finish, moderate bitter. Decent and tasty, but not really true to the style.
