Method for producing beers stored, offered, served or consumed in uv-vis-transmittant bottles with reduced sensitivity, in particular no sensitivity, to skunky thiol flavor degradation upon exposure to sunlight or other sources of uv and/or vis light, and beers stored, offered, served or consumed in uv-vis-transmittant bottles with reduced sensitivity, in particular no sensitivity, to skunky thiol flavor degradation upon exposure to sunlight or other sources of uv and/or vis light

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a brewed beverage, in particular a light-coloured lager or ale beer, (to be) bottled, (to be) stored, (to be) offered, (to be) served or (to be) consumed in a UV-VIS-transmittant bottle, comprising the addition of hulupones and/or reduced hulupones during the brewing process in an effective amount to obtain a brewed beverage, wherein the fraction of hulupones and/or reduced hulupones in the total of isohumulones and (reduced) hulupones is at least 25 mol %, The invention further relates to a brewed beverage, in particular a light-coloured lager beer or ale beer, bottled, (to be) stored, (to be) offered, (to be) served or (to be) consumed in a UV-VIS-transmittant bottle, comprising (reduced) hulupones and wherein the frac-tion of hulupones and/or reduced hulupones in the total of isohumulones and (reduced) hulupones is at least 25 mol %.
