Which of the following is primarily a malt-derived flavor?

  1. caramel

  2. citrus

  3. green tea

  4. sugar beets

The correct answer is: caramel

Aside from being primarily derived from malt, citrus, green tea, and sugar beets all have distinctly different taste profiles than caramel. While citrus and green tea are tart and fresh, and sugar beets are earthy and sweet, caramel has a rich, nutty flavor primarily derived from malt. Unlike the other choices, caramel is the only one with a toasty, cooked flavor that is characteristic of malts used in brewing and baking.
