Table 4: Weather conditions in the hop farms under investigations. (a) Monthly data of temperature and precipitation; (b) Monthly anomalies of the same variables (reference period 1981–2010), referred to the correspond administrative regions. The GC analysis of beer samples allowed the identification of 45 compounds belonging to the following chemical groups: (1) compounds with furan structure; (2) phenolic compounds; (3) aldehyde compounds; (4) cyclic compounds of the \"enonic\" type, with five or six carbon atoms (e.g., maltol or cyclotene), (5) short or medium chain fatty acids.
