Understanding the sensory and physicochemical differences between commercially produced non-alcoholic lagers, and their influence on consumer liking.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the sensory and physicochemical differences of a range of commercial non-alcoholic lagers, as well as their influence on overall liking. Using physicochemical analysis and modified quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) with a trained panel (n = 10) eighteen commercial non-alcoholic lagers, made using different production methods, were assessed. A subset (eleven), representing the sensory space were also assessed for hedonic liking using consumers (n = 104). Overall, it showed a clear variety of non-alcoholic lagers were selected, with different clusters of samples found with identifiable characteristics. Production methods were explored as a possible explanation for the differences in characteristics, however these did not fully explain the clusters and th
