Beer Polyphenols—Bitterness, Astringency, and Off-Flavors

Kuhaˇca20, 31000 Osijek, Croatia; [email protected] (V.K.); [email protected] (K.M.) 2 Slovenian Institute of Hop Research and Brewing, Cesta Žalskega Tabora 2, 3310 Žalec, Slovenia; [email protected] 3 European Food Safety Authority, Via Carlo Magno 1a, 43126 Parma, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +385-31-224-300 Abstract: The acceptance of beer among consumers is most influenced by the taste and aroma. Polyphenols are widely responsible for both. Whereas polyphenols do not always result in a positive flavor and taste, they can surely impart certain off-flavors, which will be mentioned in this paper. However, the aftertaste is an important component of the beer-tasting experience and acceptance. The aftertaste, including astringency, may largely influence consumers’ consumption preference and behavior. Bitterness is one of the main, desirable characteristics of beer, but to an untrained consumer, it can often be mistaken with astringency. This review aims to describe the differences between these two properties. Both attributes derive from the same beer components, polyphenols from barley and hop, but there is a distinctive difference between them. To understand the complexity of bitterness and astringency, polyphenols behavior, characteristics, and stability during the brewing process are also described in this review.

History of Development of English Bitters and Pale Ales
History of Development of English Bitters and Pale Ales. For such a popular category of beers, style guidelines are rather blurry. In particular, the distinction between English Bitter and English Pale Ale is elusive. British brewers themselves appear to use the two terms indiscriminately, along with Strong Ale, Premium Ale, Strong Pale Ale and others. Australian style guidelines recognize EPA, but fail to satisfactorily distinguish it from English Special Bitter. American BJCP guidelines completely omit EPA as a separate style. In modern terms, this omission may seem justified: 89.6% of all English pale beers in a 1997 survey were designated bitter, only 6.9% designated pale or light ale, and 3.5% IPA. (Terry Foster, Pale Ale, 1999) Thus even in England the term “pale ale” is almost extinct, and the style itself has become absorbed into the broader bitter category. It wasn’t always so, and the history of development of these beers gives quite a different picture. History is open to interpretation and some of the stories may be apochryphal, but it becomes evident that Pale Ale preceded Bitter by half a century or more, and when Bitter eventually did emerge, it was a distinctly different beer from Pale Ale. India Pale Ale. 1790 : George Hodgson of London is credited with the first shipment of “Hodgsons India Ale”, a somewhat paler beer specifically designed for export. He employs huge quantities of hops as a preservative during the long hot voyage to India. OG is around 1.070, comparable to the dominant porters of the day. He cornered the India trade for a time due more to his shrewd and aggressive marketing tactics than the quality of his beer - “We neither like its thick and muddy appearance or rank bitter flavour” commented one brewer.
