Hops are the flowering portion of the hop vine.These flowers not only fight off bacterial infections in the beer, they aid in clarification of the beer, stabilize the flavor, help retain head, and aid in ones ability to drink the beer.

Hop oils are produced in the Lupulin glands of the flower. These oils are non-polar, and can only be extracted through a short boiling and contribute to the bitterness of a beer.
