Hop flavour guide

Wake up and smell the hops! No matter what style of beer you’re planning to brew, it all starts with selecting the right hops for the flavour profile you want to achieve. Our flavour directory is a great place to find a hop that’ll please your palate or find new inspiration.

Please keep in mind that how people perceive taste and flavours is very subjective. The aroma profile of a hop is never standardised and depends on climate, harvest year, batch, age, storage, processing and, of course, totally on your recipe. We tried our best to match each hop to a flavour/aroma profile but please just see this list as a very general approximation.
