Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Five British ale yeast strains were subjected to flavour profiling under brewery fermentation conditions in which all other brewing parameters were kept constant. Significant variation was observed in the timing and quantity of flavour‐related chemicals produced. Genetic tests showed no evidence of hybrid origins in any of the strains, including one strain previously reported as a possible hybrid of <italic>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</italic> and <italic>S. bayanus</italic>. Variation maintained in historical <italic>S. cerevisiae</italic> ale yeast collections is highlighted as a potential source of novelty in innovative strain improvement for bioflavour production.
