What does Hop Absolute 50 TEC smell like?
Solvent-extracted from the flower of Humulus lupulus and sold at 50% in triethyl citrate. Bulkaroma tags the material bitter, green, herbal and spicy; a working perfumer's account of the Payan Bertrand grade puts it more plainly as a beer intensified, with a herbal character, fruity and slightly butyric, meaning cheesy albeit subtly. That butyric edge is what makes it interesting and what makes it dangerous: owing to its unique profile and its potency it is used, if at all, in traces, worked into fruity, herbal, woody and spicy accords for a bitter green realism nothing else gives. Being a 50% cut in TEC, it is weighed at double to land the same absolute in the formula.
