Provided are: an extract or the like, which can impart a bitter taste and a flavor and can also impart tastes including a body taste and a rich taste without increasing an astringent taste or a harsh taste; and a beverage having an excellent body taste and an excellent rich taste. It becomes possible to impart a body taste and a rich taste to a beverage without increasing astringency or deteriorating a sharp taste of the beverage by reducing the content of a hop-derived polyphenol, particularly monomeric proanthocyanidin, in the beverage and relatively increasing the content of di- to tetra-meric proanthocyanidin in the beverage. |
