Not harshly hoppy or overly bitter at all. (Light bong water.) Otherwise, it’s a spritzy light mineral water, ephemeral. The flavor is light with a bright bit of citrus (“natural flavors”) that’s a touch dank and earthy. It has an oddly candy or juice-like aroma that’s reminiscent of an orange-cherry lollipop, with a faint undercurrent of herbal bitterness.

Hoppy Refresher is a zippy and zingy highly carbonated dry-hopped sparkling water. Chock-full of Citra, Equinox, and Centennial hops, for a big splash of flavor that’s surprisingly fruity.
