FAQs

What exactly is hopnøsis?

hopnøsis™ is a premium functional hop water.


A sparkling water made with intentional hop extracts and functional adaptogens and nootropics, including ashwagandha (Sensoril®), L-theanine and Vitamin C.

Why would I drink hopnøsis?

Because sometimes you want the ritual, not the repercussions.


hopnøsis is for moments where you want to join in without switching off, unwind without dulling your edge, or celebrate without borrowing from tomorrow.


No alcohol. No sugar. No calories. Nothing artificial.


Just a considered, premium alternative that feels good in your body and your mind.

What does hopnøsis taste like?

Crisp, refreshing and quietly complex.


Think sparkling water with structure. A gentle bitterness. Citrus and botanical notes from hops. Clean on the palate. Dry, not sweet.


It sits somewhere between your favourite sparkling water and the satisfying depth of a craft drink, without trying to imitate beer.
Best enjoyed ice cold.

What are hops?

Hops are the flowers of the hop plant, Humulus lupulus.


They are best known for their role in brewing, where they add aroma, balance and bitterness. Beyond flavour, hops contain naturally occurring compounds, including flavonoids and essential oils, which have been linked to calming and mood-supportive properties.


We use hops for their character, not nostalgia.

What kind of hops do you use?

We use a carefully balanced blend of hop extracts, selected to preserve the most expressive aroma and fl avour compounds found in hops.


The aim is not intensity for the sake of it, but harmony.


Enough depth to feel satisfying.
Enough lightness to stay refreshing.

Why do hops taste different in hopnøsis?

Because most hop flavour never makes it into the drink.


Traditional processes can lose up to 90% of hop aroma and nuance during production. hopnøsis uses refined extraction methods designed to capture and retain virtually all of what hops naturally offer, delivering greater depth, balance and clarity without alcohol or sugar.

What are adaptogens and nootropics?

Adaptogens and nootropics are functional ingredients that support how the body and mind respond to stress, focus and balance.


They don’t sedate you. They don’t stimulate you. They support your system doing what it already does, just a little better.

Which functional ingredients are in hopnøsis?

L-Theanine

A naturally occurring amino acid commonly found in tea leaves. Known for promoting calm focus without drowsiness. Often described as helping you feel relaxed but clear-headed.


Ashwagandha (Sensoril®)


An adaptogenic root and leaf extract traditionally used to support stress resilience and balance. We use a top-grade, standardised extract chosen for its consistency, quality and purity.


Vitamin C

Included for its role in immune support and general well-being.


Each ingredient is used intentionally, not excessively.

Does hopnøsis contain caffeine?

No. hopnøsis is completely caffeine-free and can be enjoyed day or night.

Is hopnøsis alcoholic?

No. hopnøsis is completely alcohol-free. It stands confidently on its own, but plays well as a mixer if that’s your moment.

Does hopnøsis contain sugar or calories?

No sugar. No calories. Nothing artificial.

Is hopnøsis gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. hopnøsis is gluten-free and vegan-friendly.

How many cans of hopnøsis can I drink in a day?

hopnøsis is designed for everyday enjoyment.


The functional ingredients are formulated so that their daily intake sits comfortably across up to four cans. That means you can enjoy more than one without overdoing it.


As with anything functional, listen to your body and enjoy in a way that feels right for you. If you have specific medical concerns or are taking medication, it’s always best to check with a healthcare professional.

Does hopnøsis contain allergens?

Can I drink hopnøsis while pregnant or breastfeeding?

We recommend consulting your healthcare provider before consuming hopnøsis while pregnant or breastfeeding.


There is limited research on the use of certain functional ingredients during pregnancy, so professional guidance is always best.

Can children drink hopnøsis?

We recommend consulting a healthcare professional before giving hopnøsis to children, due to the inclusion of functional ingredients.

Can the functional ingredients interact with medication?

If you are taking medication or have a medical condition, please consult your healthcare provider before consuming hopnøsis.

What kind of water do you use?

We use locally sourced water that is purified through advanced multi-stage filtration, including reverse osmosis and UV treatment, creating a clean, neutral base that lets the hops and botanicals shine.

Are your cans recyclable?

Yes.

Our cans are aluminium and fully recyclable.

We use BPA-free liners inside the cans, and our labels are PET, which is recyclable.

We encourage removing the label before recycling to ensure the aluminium is processed correctly.
