Abstract

See full text

Provided is an alcohol-free beer-like malt beverage from wort added with hop component without fermentation, having reduced off-flavor intrinsic to a malt beverage and suppressed nasty smell derived from hop, and retaining an aromatic component of hop. Produced is an alcohol-free beer-like malt beverage having reduced off-flavor and retaining an aromatic component of hop without fermentation, unlike a conventional non-alcohol beer production process, by controlling the content of a hop-derived aromatic component, myrcene, α-humulene or β-selinene, in the beer-like malt beverage to a specific value. In the present invention, the content of a hop-derived aromatic component in the beer-like malt beverage is controlled by controlling the addition timing or additive amount of hop and/or a hop essential-oil component during a wort-boiling step or the addition amount of a hop essential-oil component in a step after the wort-boiling step.
