Abstract:
An alcohol free or low alcohol fermented malt based beverage is disclosed. The malt based beverage has an alcohol content of not more than 1.0 vol. % preferably not more than 0.7 vol. % having an aroma profile close to the one of alcoholic lager beers. The beverage has 7.00-30.00 ppm ethyl acetate and 0.01-0.20 ppm ethyl butyrate. The beverage preferably has the esters 0.05-2.00 ppm isoamyl acetate; 0.01-0.10 ppm ethyl butyrate; and 0.01-0.05 ppm ethyl hexanoate. The beverage preferably has the higher alcohol 5.00-30.00 ppm (iso-)amyl alcohol. The (iso)amyl alcohol is defined as the sum of 3-methyl butanol and 2-methyl butanol.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns an alcohol free or low alcohol fermented malt based beverage having an alcohol content of not more than 0.7 vol. %, characterized by a relationship y≥A xb wherein A=0.25 and b=1.5, and wherein •x is the ratio between unfermentable over real extracts, wherein the unfermentable extract is the value of the real extract less the total content of real sugars, which consist of fructose, maltose, glucose, maltotriose, and saccharose, and •y is the ratio between the combined content of maltopentaose, maltohexaose, and maltoheptaose over the total amount of main sugars, wherein the main sugars consist of fructose, maltose, glucose, saccharose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, and maltoheptaose. It also concerns a method for producing an alcohol free or low alcohol fermented malt based beverage comprising •Preparing a wort (23) of fermentability not higher that 29%, preferably, not higher than 25%, more preferably at most 20%; and •Fermenting the thus prepared wort in a fermentation tank (4) by a cold contact process.
