    I had a hop candy from Founders a few weeks ago...

    That stuff was weird.

    Sorry you're not a big fan~thanks for trying though. Can't win 'em all but 'B-Hoppy' is busier than ever. And to tell you the truth, the candy came about after a failed attempt at hop-scented cp soap back in the early-mid 2000's. Those hop oils, mostly terpenes, don't hold up too well in alkaline conditions, so the scent didn't stick. Hoppy Trails

    Nope, my grapefruit face wash:flushed: reminds me of Enjoy By. Citrus flavor works for everything.

    They even make hop candles from essential oils that are pretty decent. It's a good replacement for the fruity crap your SO likes to burn.

    I had a Cascade hop candy at Bell's, it had a nice initial hop flavor but quickly faded to just a regular lemon drop. Hop soap sounds nice, will have to check it out.

    More Beer, a home brew place near me is selling some Hop "Mike & Ike's" pretty cool but I didn't try - too sweet.

    Personally I prefer Hop Air Freshener.

    I've enjoyed the SN lip balm until I forgot to remove it from my pocket before the wash and drier. Had the New Belguim lip balm several years ago it was also great!

    Hops taste great, and I could use some lib balm. Sounds like a win to me.

    This stuff is awesome. Always pick it up when I board in Tahoe. The flavor is mostly mint and not hoppy.

    Hop candles sound pretty good.

    Candles and soap sound good, but generally I think hop consumables (including lip balm, since there's pretty clear evidence that most people just slowly eat lip balm if it's flavored) should just be beer. :grinning:

    They've had that out for a while. I remember getting a free tube of it at a brew fest a couple of years ago. I actually really liked it.

    Now if we could only get BB to make a hop flavor version...

    as with the hop candle thread several years back, this complaint thread has spurred me on to buy a few of the items in question. hop lip balm, why the fuck not?

    i hate to say this, but as it turns out, hop candles often don't really "get there."
