Their low relative bitterness but strong aroma are often distinguishing characteristics of European-style [[lager]] beer, such as [[Pilsener]], Dunkel, and Oktoberfest/Marzen. In beer, they are considered aroma hops (as opposed to bittering hops); see [[Pilsner Urquell]] as a classic example of the style, which showcases Noble hops.
The land where the hops were grown affects the hops' characteristics, similar to grapes. Much like [[champagne (beverage)|champagne]] may only be called "champagne" if the grapes were grown in the Champagne area of [[France]], Noble hops may only officially be considered Noble if they were grown in the areas for which the hops varieties were named. An equivalent style of beer is [[lambic]], which may only be officially called lambic if brewed in a specific region of [[Belgium]].
