“
Butyric“, rancid, like baby vomit”

The origin of butyric acid in cider-making is unclear but it is most likely associated with use of poor quality applies which have suffered from bacterial rot. It imparts a rancid flavour to cider, with the intensity of the note being affected by product pH value.
