Lambic and Gueuze Are Belgian Beers Obtained by Spontaneous Fermentation of Wort 278 J. Inst. Brew., September-October, 1978, Vol. 84, pp. 278-282 FATTY ACIDS AND ESTERS PRODUCED DURING THE SPONTANEOUS FERMENTATION OF LAMBIC AND GUEUZE By M. SPAEPEN, D. VAN OEVELEN AND H. VERACHTERT (Laboratory of Industrial Microbiology and Biochemistry, University of Leuven, Kardinaal Mercierlaan 92, Heverlee-Louvain, 3030, Belgium) Received 30 January 1978 lambic and gueuze are Belgian beers obtained by spontaneous fermentation of wort. During previous studies it was found that they result from the successive development of enterobacteria, Kloeckera and Saccharomyces yeasts, bacteria of the genus Pediococcus, and Brettanomyces yeasts._ The beers are characterized by high concentrations of acetic and lactic acid, ethyl acetate and ethyl lactate. This study of the content of the higher fatty acids during a 20 month fermentation period confirms the succession of the different micro-organisms. Pure cultures of isolated yeasts and bacteria produced fatty acids which were also found in the fermenting wort at periods when these organisms were active. lambic and Gueuze are especially rich in caprylic (Cs) and capric (C10) acids. These are probably produced by Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces. Important amounts of ethyl caprylate and ethyl caprate were also found. As ethyl caprate is almost absent in other beers, it might be considered as another typical aroma component of Iambic and gueuze. Key words: Iambic, gueuze, spontaneous fermentation, fatty EXPERIMENTAL acids, esters. Sampling Sampling of Iambic and gueuze has been described pre• viously.25.26 INTRODUCTION Determination of free fatty acids.-Free fatty acids were Free fatty acids are important in brewing for several determined after extraction and esterification accorci.ing to reasons2,5,20,21 as they exert an influence on flavour and on the MacPherson & Buckeell with some modifications.

The yeasts isolated from fermenting Iambic were first inoculated acids from Cl2 to ClS' after a slow increase during the first in 10 ml of sterile Iambic wort in test tubes. After growth, months, showed a slow decrease during the later months. 3 ml of these cultures were used to inoculate 300 ml batches Nevertheless, the concentration of C12 slightly increased again of sterile Iambic wart.

For Aceto• ClS acids always remained several orders of magnitude lower monas the Erlenmeyers were stoppered with cotton plugs. All flasks were shaken once a day. For Pediococcus optimal growth conditions in Iambic wort have not yet been found and they were grown and studied using the medium of Uchida & Mogi24 under a carbon dioxide atmosphere. Fatty acid production was recarded as indicated later in the text. For maintenance the different strains of yeasts, acetic acid bacteria and pediococci were kept on universal beer agarlO • supplemented with 2 % calcium carbonate and entero• bacteria on nutrient agar. Materia/s.-Fatty acids (Cg-ClS:2) and the methyl esters were obtained from Sigma (St. Louis, USA), boron tri• fluoride-methanol, octanol-1 and n-heptane from Merck (Darmstadt, W. Germany), n-decane from Koch-Light (Colnbrook, England), the ethyl esters of Cg to ClO from Aldrich Europe (Beerse, Belgium), phenethyl acetate from Fluka (Buchs, Switzerland). RESULTS Fatty Acid Composition of Fermenting Lambic.-Lambic was analysed for higher fatty acids during a fermentation period of from 0 days up to 20 months. The results are given in Tables I and n. A typical gas chromatographic analysis is shown in Fig. 1. Table n contains the results obtained from the analysis of casks of different age, while Table I contains results obtained during a periodic analysis of two particular casks. After 9 days of fermentation, the acids from Cs up to Clg already showed a remarkable increase in concentration, with a ratio of ClO/CS higher than one. The content of ClS and ClS:3 did not change significantly. On the 37th day the concentration of the CS-CIg acids had increased even more but the ratio of CIO/CSwas lower than one. After two months the concentration of the CIO remained fairly constant ex• cept in very old Iambic (18-20 months) where an increase was again noted. The content of Cs slowly increased. ~s a result '- TABLE 1.

  • Samuel Smith's Organic Chocolate Stout and Lindemans Framboise
    For That Occasion Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout and Lindemans Framboise Raspberry Lambic Chocolate & Raspberries For That Occasion! Samuel Smith’s Brewery - Organic Chocolate Stout Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery at Tadcaster, one of England’s few remaining independent breweries, was founded in 1758 and is the oldest in Yorkshire. Water from the original well is used to brew all beers, and every drop of ale is still fermented in traditional ‘Yorkshire Squares’ - open-topped vessels made of stone. Each Smith beer is a benchmark for its style, but Samuel Smith’s Organic Chocolate Stout has been the most dramatic beer introduction in the history of the brewery. Chocolate is beautifully melded to the full, roasty flavour of stout: it’s deep, aromatic, & satisfying; a full body with fruity notes from the Sam Smith yeast strain support the lush chocolate aroma and flavour. USDA Certified Organic by the UK Soil Association. 18.7 oz. Organic Chocolate Stout 12 oz. Organic Chocolate Stout 4-pk 12 oz. Organic Chocolate Stout Lindemans Brewery - Framboise Raspberry Lambic Since 1822, Lindemans Brewery has been the benchmark producer of one of the world's rarest and most unusual beers: "spontaneously fermented" all-natural Lambic Ale. After brewing a wort from locally-grown wheat & barley, lambic brewers allow wild, airborne yeast to ferment the beer - no yeast is added by the brewers. Complex, unique flavours result from this magic mixture of multiple wild yeast strains; the addition of fresh fruit juice with light sweetening lead to a beautifully balanced, elegant masterpiece. Lambics can be produced only in Belgium's Senne River Valley, west of Brussels.

    beverages Article Acid and Volatiles of Commercially-Available Lambic Beers Katherine Thompson Witrick, Susan E. Duncan, Ken E. Hurley and Sean F. O’Keefe * Department of Food Science and Technology, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061, USA; [email protected] (K.T.W.); [email protected] (S.E.D.); [email protected] (K.E.H.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-530-231-4437 Academic Editor: Ombretta Marconi Received: 10 January 2017; Accepted: 6 October 2017; Published: 26 October 2017 Abstract: Lambic beer is the oldest style of beer still being produced in the Western world using spontaneous fermentation. Gueuze is a style of lambic beer prepared by mixing young (one year) and older (two to three years) beers. Little is known about the volatiles and semi-volatiles found in commercial samples of gueuze lambic beers. SPME was used to extract the volatiles from nine different brands of lambic beer. GC-MS was used for the separation and identification of the compounds extracted with SPME. The pH and color were measured using standard procedures. A total of 50 compounds were identified in the nine brands. Seventeen of the 50 compounds identified have been previously identified. The compounds identified included a number of different chemical groups such as acids, alcohols, phenols, ketones, aldehydes, and esters. Ethyl acetate, 4-ethylphenol, and 4-ethylguaiacol are known by-products of the yeast, Brettanomyces, which is normally a spoilage microorganism in beer and wine, but important for the flavor characteristics of lambic beer. There were no differences in pH, but there were differences in color between the beer samples.
