Abstract
It has unexpectedly been found thatspp. strains have advantageous properties useful in the beer fermentation process. In particular,spp. yeast strains can be combined with normal beer yeast strains and different hop varieties in a fermentation process to produce synergistic effects—namely, the increased production of esters in the fermentation product. More specifically, the yeast can be used to produce increased levels of isoamyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, ethyl propionate, ethyl valerate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl decanoate and ethyl octanoate in beer. In addition, thespp. strain interacts differently with different hop varieties, so the flavor profile of beer can be tuned by using different combinations ofspp. strains and hops. The present invention relates to a method of brewing beer using aspp. yeast strain and at least one hop variety, a beer obtainable by such a method and use of aspp. yeast strain according to the present invention.
