agree  Mack Tillman (X): Anheuser-Busch even talks of a hoppy bouquet or bright hoppy finish. But hoppy finish/note is fine with me. I guess if you look into all american breweries you'll find various combinations See i.e.: http://www.anheuser-busch.com/brandPages/budAmAle.html

neutral  British Diana: I associate "tinge" with colour or if used figuratively, "touch" is O.K.//Just goes to show how language keeps developing and leaving me behind;-) - it gives me a twinge of pain!

neutral  Colin Rowe: This would work fine if there wasn't already a more "technical" term for it :) Cheers! // Better without the "taste" - simply "a hint of hop(s)" // "If you're hoppy and you know it...!" ;-)

(fine/gentle) hoppiness


Explanation:
also used quite frequently, see examples:

Rather dry flavour and *fine hoppiness*. Fresh with a late bitterness.

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/godefroy-biere-de-chateau/41659...

The nose is very fine, with a flinty mineral note, *fine hoppiness* and a biscuity quality with just a hint of lemon zest.

http://www.beer-pages.com/notes/results.php?score=1&source=l...

It had malt, caramel, a hint of spice and a little yeast plus some *fine hoppiness* in the finish. Not outstanding, but a nice little beer.

http://knutalbert.wordpress.com/2007/12/23/george-iv-holborn...

This light-coloured and light-bodied lager has a definite fruity note on the nose, with a *gentle hoppiness*.

http://www.wine-pages.com/organise/londbeer.htm

The nose has a distinct malt and red fruit bias, with only a *gentle hoppiness*. On the palate there is a quite a full-bodied, creamy weight to this beer, ...

As an alternative to "fine/gentle hoppiness", "delicate hoppiness" would also work nicely here.

Not to mention the *delicate hoppiness* in many of their beers which will of course also fade with time.

http://www.ratebeer.com/forums/aging-potential-of-jp-regular...

A rich ruby coloured ale combines a hint of roast and caramel with a clean tasting *delicate hoppiness* throughout.

http://www.garthelabrewhouse.co.uk/cask.php

Smooth, full bodied and fruity with a *delicate hoppiness*.

While stubbornly sticking to my guns with "hoppiness", I think perhaps the most suitable qualifying adjective might be "subtle".

It's a bit fuller than Hoegaarden, with the classic citrus peel and spice nuances and a *subtle hoppiness*.

http://articles.sfgate.com/2006-06-29/wine/17298790_1_boston...

Light citrus aromas merge with *subtle hoppiness*.

Incidentally, the late, great Michael Jackson (and yes, I mean the "Beer Hunter", not the so-called "King of Pop"!!), frequently referred to "hoppiness". His website has a useful search function:

neutral  British Diana: As far as I can see the word "hoppiness" is only ever used humourously. Do we know if this is appropriate here?// O.K. point taken, can we agree on the word being typical of this type of copy(words like "biscuity" come for me in the same category...)
53 mins
  -> "Hoppiness" is the term I am familiar with. Humourous? The above references were all from serious/snooty/pompous beer-tasting notes! // Yes, typical for this kind of text. Same no-one else here seems to think so! "Don't worry, be hoppy!" ;-)
