“
Cooked vegetable, like boiled cauliflower”
Certified beer flavour standard used to train professional beer tasters to recognize and scale the intensity of cooked vegetable character. Methyl thioacetate is produced by lager yeast, but not by ale yeast, during fermentation. It is a positive flavour character in lager beer but an off-flavour in other beer styles.
