Herb · Global
Predominantly bitter, hops provide a clean, distinct flavor profile without sweetness, sourness, or umami. The aromatic profile features high floral notes reminiscent of orange blossom and rose, balanced by a secondary herbal character suggestive of bay leaf. These qualities are derived from a complex chemical structure including humulone, lupulone, myrcene, linalool, and geraniol.
