IMPORTANCE

ORIGINS

Ethyl butyrate is produced by both ale and lager yeast during fermentation. The amount produced depends on wort composition, yeast strain and fermentation conditions. The presence of ethyl butyrate in beer can be indicative of brewhouse hygiene problems, with the compound being formed during fermentation as a result of esterification of butyric acid produced by contaminant bacteria in the brewhouse.

HOW TO TASTE

The best way to detect ethyl butyrate in beer is as follows. Cover the beer with your hand and swirl the glass to release the aroma. Remove your hand and take a single long sniff. Repeat as necessary.
