“…where colour and bitterness are derived from the same element (i.e., tannins). According to Spearot (2016), "the majority of bitterness in beer is derived from hops" (p. 3; see also Oladokun, James, Cowley, Dehrmann, Smart, Hort, & Cook, 2017;Oladokun, Tarrega, James, Smart, Hort, & Cook, 2016;Stevens & Page, 2004), whereas the colour of a traditional beer is derived, in large part, from malted barley (Bettenhausen et al, 2018;De Keukeleire, 2000;Magalhães, Dostalek, Cruz, Guido, & Barros, 2008). As such, the bitterness and colour of a beer are not necessarily connected (rather, one might think of them as orthogonal sensory attributes).…”
