By application of molecular sensory science approaches, the key odorants in various German flavor hop varieties were characterized and their transfer into beer was assessed. Myrcene, linalool, as well as 2- and 3-methylbutanoic acid are important odorants in all hop varieties. The variety-specific aroma of Huell Melon hops is caused by the fruity smelling esters ethyl 2-methylpropanaote, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate and propyl 2-methylbutanoate. The compounds 3-methylbutyl acetate and 1,8-cineole were found to be responsible for the fresh aroma note of Polaris hops.
