Beer Flavour Standards
Pharmaceutical Quality Assessed Beer Flavour Standards For Beer Sensory Panel Training and Proficiency Testing.
Stabilised beer flavour standards manufactured to Pharmaceutical quality levels, allow you to train your sensory panels in a range of flavours that can naturally or artificially occur in beer, helping you to reduce the risk that a poor quality product will reach the market.
Our Beer Flavour standards use cyclodextrins to stabilise volatile flavours at the correct concentration and eliminate any impurities typically found in sensory laboritory diluted flavours. Our Pharmaceutical grade Beer Flavour Standards are manufactured to GMP quality processes to ensure that the flavour delivered during tasting is consistent and free from additional flavours. Each flavour is individually packaged in pharmaceutical grade blister packs for protection and easy dispensing during training.
Each Flavour Standard represents a positive or negative aspect that can occur in beer. You can find the full range of Beer Flavour Standards in our product information section.

Quick, Convenient and Effective to Use
Each Beer Flavour Standard comes in a pre-set concentration within a capsule. All you need to do is to simply pour the contents into a volume of beer. One capsule provides three times the flavour threshold when added to one litre of beer. There’s now no need to spend time producing chemicals in a sensory lab or to measure them out in a liquid form into your beer.
Using Beer Flavour Standards to train your tasters is an effortless way to improve brand quality and sensory systems as well as being efficient and cost effective.
By using Beer Flavour Standards and taster training methods you can turn an ordinary person into an expert taster within a few short weeks. This normally took years costing breweries significant amounts of time and money.
Each flavour in our range are provided in a pharmaceutical blister pack that improve upon the stability and quality of our products. Simple, easy to use and stable to store, our blister packs keep each flavour standard fresh compared to traditional pot packaging types.
Just push out the flavour standard you need through the foil seal and the capsule is ready to use.
Open the capsule by holding each end and twisting and pulling at the same time. Pour into a litre of beer for three times the flavour threshold. You can increase of decrease the concentration by adding to more or less beer, I.E for six times the flavour threshold add an entire capsule to half a litre of beer.
The empty capsule can be thrown into normal waste and any excess beer after tasting can be normally disposed off.
When you’ve used up the entire pack you can re-cycle the cardboard part by pulling apart the card and disposing of it with accordance to your local re-cycling regulations.
Storage
Beer Flavour standards might be robust enough to withstand shipping worldwide however Flavour standards are best stored under these conditions.
- Keep them in the dark
- Don’t crush the packs – you may damage the contents or release the capsules before you need them
- Keep them dry – even though we provide a desiccant in the pots high humidity and water can still degrade the flavour standards
- Keep them cool, but not too cool – we recommend 20 degrees Celsius, please keep our standards out of the fridge the cold can make the capsules brittle.
- Check the expiry date – our capsules have a shelf life, past that time and it may effect the flavour that your tasters are being trained or validated on. Use our online order form to get hold of some replacements or call us. We’ll be happy to help!
