  • A.A barnyard aroma from volatile phenols
  • B.Complete loss of all colour from the beer
  • C.Sourness together with a buttery diacetyl note
  • D.A pronounced vinegar aroma from acetic acid

Answer: C

Correct answer: Sourness together with a buttery diacetyl note

Pediococcus is a lactic acid bacterium, so it sours the beer, and it also produces diacetyl, which carries a strong butter or butterscotch aroma detectable at very low concentrations. Some strains additionally form ropiness. The barnyard aroma belongs to Brettanomyces and the vinegar note to Acetobacter.
