Perceived bitterness character of beer in relation to hop variety and the impact of hop aroma

Abstract: The impact of hop variety and hop aroma on perceived beer bitterness intensity and character was investigated using analytical and sensory methods. Beers made from malt extract were hopped with 3 distinctive hop varieties (Hersbrucker, East Kent Goldings, Zeus) to achieve equi-bitter levels. A trained sensory panel determined the bitterness character profile of each singly-hopped beer using a novel lexicon. Results showed different bitterness character profiles for each beer, with hop aroma also found to chang… Show more

“…Concentrations of individual phenolic compounds were analysed by HPLC according to the method described by Oladokun et al . . Briefly, ethyl acetate extracts were evaporated to dryness, reconstituted in methanol and separated using a Waters Alliance 2695 HPLC fitted with a Purospher STAR RP‐18 end‐capped column (250 × 4.6 mm, 3 μm particle size; Merck Millipore, UK) coupled with a C 18 guard cartridge from Phenomenex (UK).…”

“…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).…”

“…Perhaps given the global trend of wanting a healthier lifestyle and of improving product qualities, in the last decade the market of special beers has evolved significantly offering additional product traits such as enhanced functionality, new flavors, and tastes. These improvements went beyond the use of hops, which are nevertheless vital for the brewing industry [21], as they contribute significantly to the sensory properties of beer [22][23][24]. Lately, microbreweries are dedicated to the production of special beers, using fruits, honey, herbs, or spices to enhance the aroma and to provide flavors and colors that cannot be obtained from grains [25][26][27].…”
