Aroma Hops

Aroma hops are specific types of hops used in brewing beer to enhance its fragrance and flavor. Unlike bitter hops, which are added during the boiling process to create bitterness, aroma hops are typically added later in brewing to preserve their delicate scents and tastes. They contribute various flavors, such as floral, citrus, herbal, or tropical notes, depending on the hop variety. This enhances the overall drinking experience by adding complexity and balance to the beer, making it more enjoyable for consumers. Aromatic hops are crucial for styles like IPAs and pale ales, which emphasize hop flavors.
