What fermentation-derived flavor commonly appears in ales but not lagers?

  1. Bready

  2. Coriander

  3. Floral

  4. Fruity

The correct answer is: Fruity

Lagers are typically brewed with cold-fermenting yeast, which produces a clean, crisp taste. In contrast, ales are brewed with warmer-fermenting yeast that produces more esters, giving them a fruity flavor. Bready flavors are often associated with wheat beers, while coriander and floral flavors can appear in both ales and lagers depending on the recipe and brewing process. Therefore, fruity is the fermentation-derived flavor that commonly appears in ales but not lagers.
