Success in brewing requires great tasting skills – we make flavour standards and sensory software to help you find and develop the tasters you need

We can help you identify staff with the most potential for tasting, assess their aptitude, train them, and check their competence and skills. We supply a range of 56 reference beer flavour standards and four flavour standards kits, to generate positive notes, off-flavours and taints in your beers. Our award-winning software is used by hundreds of breweries to develop their brewery taste panels. Until now you could only buy our sensory products through resellers. Soon, you and more than 1,500 breweries that have been using our products for 15 years, will be able to buy them direct from our UK production facility.

sensory analysis software

We developed the world’s first stabilized beer flavour standards. For 15 years they’ve been used by breweries large and small to improve tasting skills.

Train your tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of almost 60 individual flavour notes. We provide unit-dosed, reference flavour standards which are safe to smell and taste. Manufactured in our ISO9001-accredited facility and extensively analysed to assure consistent flavour character and strength every time.

Beer tasting skills can’t be left to chance. Pick the right people, focus on the best, and give them the training they need. It’s quite easy, when you know how.

Use our taster management software to manage the recruitment, screening and training of your beer taste panel. Our user-friendly system provides detailed instructions for your training courses, manages all your data, and puts everything in one place, aiding compliance with ISO9001 and ISO17025.

Are your tasters as good you as you think they are? Until you objectively measure their performance you’ll never be sure. It's easier than you think.

Our taster validation software has been used to assess the abilities of individual tasters, panels, breweries, and brewery groups to taste beer for more than a decade. Used together with our innovative beer flavour standards the system gives you an independent assessment of your tasters’ performance, free from bias.

Every day your people taste packaged beers, BBTs, and in-process samples. Can you access those results and make decisions in real time?

For too long brewery tasting has taken too long. Too long to get results. Too long to make good decisions. Too long to make quick decisions. Too long to predict problems before they occur. With our unique sensory analysis software, designed by brewers for brewers, you’ll have all the time you need.
