How to read the thiol columns

High Among the strongest known carriers of that thiol's precursors. A thiol-releasing yeast turns this into pronounced passionfruit or grapefruit (3MH family) or blackcurrant (4MMP).
Significant A meaningful contribution when the yeast can release it.
Low Aroma comes mainly from the oils. Thiols are not this hop's story.

Tiers summarise published precursor measurements and supplier statements Gros et al. 2012 Kishimoto 2009 Roland et al. 2016. Hoparoma's internal weighting is not published.

Data quality: Verified = cross-checked against 2026 supplier data; Supplier reference = single supplier or research source; Estimate = pooled community values, treat as approximate.
