So I was doing a little reading reading tonight, and I came across a beer brewing document that says something to the effect of "Hops contribute to the appearance of a beer."
The source is here: (Click on the pdf about hops and hops-products at the top)

Webster online says:
Obviously definition (3) is out. I'm assuming they mean definition (2) instead of (1). But it got me thinking...
Can different types/amounts/times of hops actually change the appearance of beer? The only thing I can think of is extra dry hopping will release lots of hop 'oils', maybe detracting from the head? Just a musing.
Does anyone know anything about this? or had experience?
