Hops
Herb added to boiling wort or fermenting beer to impart a bitter aroma and flavor. Hops are the dried blossom of the female hop plant, which is a climbing herb (Humulus lupulus). Hops' closest relative is the cannabis plant from which marijuana is derived. Only the seed cones from the female vine are used in making beer. Hops are responsible for the bitterness in beer.
