The impact of ripening on the dry-hop aroma potential and chemical development of Cascade hops is not well understood. Therefore, 5-6 weekly hop samples were collected over the 2014, 2015 and 2016 harvests. Concentrations of humulones did not change as a function of harvest date, while total hop essential oil content displayed significant positive trends. Concentrations of thiol precursors decreased over harvest while concentrations of free thiols increased. These weekly samples were used to dry-hop an unhopped base beer. Overall hop aroma intensity and citrus quality attributed to beer during dry-hopping increased as a function of harvest date. These results suggest that for brewers to maximize the efficiency of hop usage, early harvested Cascades might be better for bittering, while, later harvested Cascades might be better for dry-hopping or aroma additions because they attributed more intense citrusy aromas to beer and had higher concentrations of free thiols and terpene alcohols.

Scope: Inflorescences of the female hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.) contain biologically active compounds, most of which have a bitter taste. Given the rising global obesity rates, there is much increasing interest in bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs).

Drying techniques are important for hop storage and quality. The stage of hop addition in beer is another important issue. This study focuses the impact of two drying techniques [freeze-dryer (F) and hot-stove (H)] of Cascade hop, on the chemical, aromatic and sensory quality of beer, comparing beers produced without (BF and BH) and with dry-hopping technique (BFDH and BHDH).

Since hop secondary metabolites have a direct correlation with the quality of beer and other hop-based beverages, and the volatile fraction of hop has a complex composition, requiring effective separation, here we explore the application of headspace solid-phase microextraction as a sample preparation method, coupled with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC×GC-MS) analysis. The methodology involved the use of a DVB/PDMS fibre with 500 mg of hop cone powder, extracted for 40 min at 50 °C, for both GC-MS and GC×GC-MS. The varieties Azacca, Cascade, Enigma, Loral, and Zappa were studied comprehensively.
