Compendium of Brewing Research SENSORY AND FLAVOR is a unique collection of articles written by brewing scientists from around the world and published in the Journal of the American Society of Brewing Chemists. This single-CD-ROM covers a wide array of sensory- and flavor-related topics and is searchable by keywords or topics to assist users in identifying articles of particular interest.

Beer flavor is a symphony of complex aromas, tastes, and textures. Beer contains thousands of sensory active compounds that interact to create these aromas, tastes, and textures. Each flavor note may be considered a mixture of key compounds that collectively deliver unique stimuli. Research by dedicated brewing scientists around the globe continues to unravel the mysteries of beer flavor. The articles in this compendium cover decades of this research on the impact of both traditional and nontraditional raw materials and the role of processing parameters on the formation of beer flavor. Development of techniques for the measurement of beer flavor including off-flavors and flavor instability can be found in the compendium as well. An understanding of beer flavor plays a large role in the ability to produce desired product profiles as well as high-quality products.

Sensory tests were conducted long before the advent of modern scientific methods. It is likely that human sensory perception was the single measure of assessing beer quality for centuries. With the development of scientific instrumentation, many quality standards and specifications are in place based on the quantitative measurements of physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters. These measures are effective in evaluating many brewing-process parameters and, when used in combination with sensory analyses, are powerful tools.
