5 Foreword HOP HARVEST GUIDE 0 a new step into the inexhaustible world of hop aromas Gone are the days when hops were judged solely for their technical properties. Today, aromas and flavours take priority. The Hop Aroma Compendia, which the experts at Joh. Barth & Sohn have developed in association with two world champion beer sommeliers and a parfumeur, have contributed to this trend. The three volumes published so far have decidedly shifted our view of hops. In the meantime, with the Hop Aroma Compendiums, we have been able to persuade sceptics and I m convinced we will also succeed in doing so with our new project. Now we go one step further because our new variety annual compares individual crop years of hops. We will present the first edition at the 0 BrauBeviale. Our highly-skilled experts have tasted and described hop varieties from the recent 0 harvest: hop varieties from Germany, France, Slovenia und the Czech Republic, four American und three Australian hop varieties. Our goal: to find out as soon as possible whether there are peculiarities or differences in the 0 harvest when compared to previous evaluations. I m very curious about the feedback from the breweries. One thing is sure: with every new project our knowledge concerning one of the most fascinating plants in the world, hops, grows. Therefore you can already look forward to our next project... Stephan J. Barth
