  • I’ve been curious about this brand for a while and eventually ordered a case. They’ve started carrying it at Whole Foods recently. I haven’t noticed much of a calming effect yet in these nootropic drinks but may try other brands.

  • This Hopwtr is hard to find in stores but definitely a fun product. The cans have fun wave-like designs and the ingredients align with what I treasure (no stevia or sweeteners, no sugar, simple herbs added, no alcohol and tastes great).

  • I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these. The hop flavor was subtle definitely less than an IPA and the hint of mango added a fresh flavor that didn’t taste too artificial. I felt very slightly calm after drinking.

  • I live Hop Wtr as an alcoholic drink alternative. It’s nice on an evening when I want to unwind but not drink. The flavor is mildly hoppy with a hint of fruit. I’ve purchased both single cans and the multipacks. I love that they contain adaptogens to help you relax.

  • I've liked every flavor I've tried. The carbonation could be smoother, but I enjoy the crispness of the water just out of the fridge on a hot day. The addition of adaptogens and nootropics is nice too. With those additions you would expect this to be more expensive than it is. It's a great price point and that makes this a regular purchase instead of an occasional treat. Seriously, if you haven't tried this get some. It's a great summer staple.

  • I like the taste and to have a pleasant calm feeling after drinking one. They are not over flavored or sweet. They are mildly carbonated. This is a nice alternative to alcohol. Only took one star off because they are too expensive. Look for a sale.

  • I tried the mango hop water. It’s a non-alcoholic hop sparkling water that is known as “LaCroix for beer fans” and is one of the healthier hop water on the market as it contains adaptogens and nootropics to reduce stress. The mango flavor is fragrant in its smell, but is quickly fleeting once drinking it. I do find it is a very refreshing drink with a fizzy and crispy carbonation. As for its calming effect, I believe I did feel a bit calmer, but it was hard to discern a noticeable difference in my composure. With that, I think this was a nice, refreshing drink that shows promise and is a great, healthier non-alcoholic beverage option.

  • Tasty refreshing drink! I like the peach the best. Have also tried the lime and blood orange. Would definitely purchase again.

  • Just what it says it is: hoppy water. Not the hoppiest of hop water brands, but the bonus here is the nootropics. Placebo or not, I keep coming back for the calming effects. All bars need to carry this!!! Till then, I will keep sneaking them in.

  • Yum! I really liked this. I tried the peach one. It was a great alternative to when I wanted a beer but..also didn’t. It tasted enough like a beer, hoppy, but it was light

  • This is one of the most refreshing and tasty drinks I've ever had. It's like a hoppy beer-not beer in a can! While the original flavor is by far my favorite, the mango flavor was surprisingly nice! This stuff pairs well with just about anything! A bonus for me was after finishing my drink, I felt a sense of ease and calm - no CBD drops required! Makes sense, hops (cousin of cannabis) also have terpenes that can create this feeling of cool calmness, without feeling drugged!

    Price point, which I presume will come down once there are a lot of buyers

  • These are great! I don't know whether I intuitively will reach for a hop-flavored sparkling water, but I like drinking these because they make drinking real beer less horrible-- I think it has helped me build a tolerance to beer (which I still need to drink in social settings).

  • I guess I was expecting a different taste. I really did not care for the taste of this drink at all. I would not purchase again.

  • I was really excited to try this product. Was hoping it would be a relaxing drink to sip on at the end of the day and with the adaptogens it would help take the edge off. The taste was ok, I tried the mango flavor. Not a strong mango flavor, just a little hint of it. I just didn’t feel any benefits from it. It was the equivalent to drinking a seltzer water with a much higher price.

  • Incredible branding, mouth-watering flavor options, and solid positioning as a beer alternative.

    Carbonation was weak, and flavor was a bit overpowering. Would love a crisper, bubblier version where the fruit notes take a bit of a backseat.
