Which of the following is primarily a hop-derived flavor?

banana
biscuit
clove
floral

The correct answer is: floral

A. Banana is not a hop-derived flavor. This flavor typically comes from yeast strains that produce isoamyl acetate, which is a chemical compound that can give beer a distinct banana aroma. B. Biscuit flavors can come from malts during the brewing process, not from hops. C. Clove flavors are typically generated by yeast phenols and fermentation, not from hops. D. Floral flavors are often derived from hops, specifically through the use of certain hop varieties. These hops can give a beer a distinct floral aroma and taste.
