Beer flavors

Beer flavors come from ingredients like malted barley, hops, yeast, and water, as well as brewing techniques. Malted barley provides sweetness and can add notes like bread, caramel, or chocolate. Hops contribute bitterness and aromatic qualities such as floral, citrus, or pine. Yeast influences the beer’s aroma and flavor, adding fruity, spicy, or earthy notes. The brewing process, fermentation, and aging also shape the final taste, which can range from light and crisp to rich and complex. Subtle differences in ingredients and methods create a wide variety of flavors, making each beer unique.
