Sensory Analysis
The Yakima Chief Hops Sensory Analysis Program was created to push quality and innovation standards even further. The program strives to ensure quality throughout the production and brewing processes, to identify novel varieties, products, and sensory attributes, and to promote sensory education throughout the industry. Our team works in tandem with the Research & Development Lab, Yakima Chief Ranches, and the Yakima Chief Research Brewery to provide meaningful and reliable data to hop growers, brewers, and passionate beer drinkers around the world.
