Review – Hoplark Water – Hop Explorer Series with Experimental 008 Hops

It seems each year there are more and more non-alcoholic drink options for those participating in Dry January – and of course for those who don’t drink alcohol. When I find an NA beer or drink I particularly love, I go hard for it. Just this year my husband and I have gone through a ton of NA options, including 3 mixed 12 packs from Untitled Art, cans of Athletic Brewing Company anytime we saw them, and Hoppy Refresher from Lagunitas Brewing Company. Now I have another brand to add to our growing list of dry options: Hoplark.

This isn’t the first time I’d heard of this brand. Somehow their products always slipped past me. I was able to get my hands on one of Hoplark’s Water from their Hop Explorer Series which contained Experimental 008 Hops. A mystery hop? Sparkling water? Sign me up!

The hop water pours clean and clear with fizz and bubbles for days. The 008 hops are said to have flavors of apple and tropical fruit. I could definitely taste the sweetness under the effervescence. The dry, crisp finish was my favorite part. I love the perfectly bubbly signature of carbonated water. Everything is better with bubbles, isn’t it?

Hoplark’s Water was so delicious and refreshing. I honestly had to remind myself not to drink it all at once. I wanted to take my time enjoying it. I wish I owned champagne glasses to sip this from. I suppose a cute tulip glass did just fine. I know it’s Dry January, but this should be in everyone’s fridge come July and August. It will be perfect to drink when the yard work is done and hydration is the order of the day.

I absolutely plan on getting myself more Hoplark. I can’t wait to taste more of their delicious options.
