Beer flavour standards

We developed the world’s first stabilized beer flavour standards. For 15 years they’ve been used by breweries throughout the world. You'll soon be able to buy them direct from us.

Train your tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of almost 60 individual beer flavour notes. We provide unit-dosed, reference beer 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 flavour standards available include: acetaldehyde, acetic, almond, alkaline, bitter, bromophenol, butyric, caprylic, catty, chlorophenol, cooked vegetable, damascenone, diacetyl, DMS, earthy, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate, freshly cut grass, geosmin, geraniol, grainy, honey, hop oil, H2S, indoleisoamyl acetate, isovaleric, kettle hop, lactic, leathery, lightstruck, malty-biscuity, mercaptan, methional, musty, onion, papery, phenolic, plastics, rancid oil, rotten vegetable, salty, smoky, sour, spicy, sulphitic, sweet and vanilla.

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.
