Which of the following beer qualities is least likely to be affected by the addition of hops?

  1. Aroma

  2. Bitterness

  3. Color

  4. Flavor

The correct answer is: Color

Adding hops to beer can impact various qualities such as aroma, bitterness, and flavor. However, color is least likely to be affected by this addition. This is because color in beer is primarily determined by the type of grains used and the brewing process, whereas hops primarily contribute to aroma, bitterness, and flavor. As a result, adding hops generally has a minimal effect on the color of the beer. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
