“It’s like… beer juice.”

Um what?  Beer and juice together? Beer that tastes like juice?  Juice squeezed from the rare and infamous beer tree?

As I come to find out, it’s actually a non-alcoholic beer-flavored drink that you can then add your own sho-chu to.  Sho-chu is like japanese vodka, strong and and clear with no taste… so once you use Hoppy, you have created a mixed drink that tastes like beer. Oh Japan.
