Qualities

These tags are not exactly aromas, but more of certain qualities that some hops exhibit.

Citrus

Many "new world" hops have extreme citrus flavors that primarily lean towards orange and grapefruit aromas. Many American and Southern Hemisphere hops have mild-to-strong citrus flavors. The hops in this category usually have high amounts of alpha-terpineol, limonene, linalool, citral and decanal hop oils.

Fruit

Fruit flavors in hops are usually broken down into Tropical Fruit, Stone Fruits, Green Fruits and Berries. While some hops have those generic flavors attached to them, more often than not they have specific fruits that they are associated with.

Floral

Hops are a part of the floral Genus, and thus share numerous characteristics with other flowering plants. Hops that have these aromas usually have high amounts of rose oxide, geraniol, geraniol acetate, citronellol and neral oils.

Woody

Many hops have strong pine or resinous flavors and aromas. However, there are plenty more that have other less-obvious flavors like leather, cedar and whiskey. Hops that have these aromas usually have high amounts of humulene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, farnesene, carvacrol and beta-caryophyllene oils.
