Bitters in beer and ale refer to the hop compounds that impart bitterness to the beverage, balancing the sweetness from the malt. Hops not only contribute bitterness but also add flavor and aroma, enhancing the overall complexity of the drink. The level of bitterness is measured in International Bitterness Units (IBUs), with higher values indicating a more pronounced bitter taste. Bitters can also refer to a specific category of beer style, known as "bitters," which are typically pale ales characterized by their hoppy flavor profile.
