Beer is made from sugar and hops are traditionally (and typically) added to balance that sweetness with bitterness. Beers that are out of balance toward the hop side are considered hop forward. To complicate things, hops are also used for non-bittering flavor and aroma properties so some hop-forward beers will have heavy hop flavors and/or aromas. It is possible to have a beer that isn't bitter be hop forward because of this.
