Negative taste perceptions remain a barrier to choosing no and low-alcohol beers. To overcome this, beer innovators are moving beyond simply highlighting low and no‑alcohol content and instead focusing on crafting a more appealing drinking experience—built around richer flavor stories, enhanced taste profiles, and formulations that deliver the familiarity and satisfaction of regular beer.
To bridge this gap between expectation and experience, a new generation of solutions is needed—ones that restore depth, balance, and authenticity to no and low‑alcohol beer.
At dsm-firmenich we decided to take on the challenge leading us to create an evolution of our existing solutions by developing versatile flavor keys and beer modifiers that provide depth, authenticity and body of flavor to brewed beer bases.
Improving the taste of non-alcoholic beer is no longer a challenge. By leveraging enzymes, you can transform overly sweet notes into a refreshing, well-balanced flavor while enhancing freshness.
Brewers TasteZyme™ G makes it simple to craft non-alcoholic beers that rival traditional options in taste—without changing your process or increasing costs. This innovative solution balances sweetness and sourness, prevents oxidation, and ensures a fresher, more enjoyable beer.
Boost the flavor, not your CAPEX, and create non-alcoholic beers that stand out in a growing market.
In no and low‑alcohol beverages, one of the key challenges is not removing alcohol — it’s rebuilding the authentic alcohol sensation consumers expect.
Our Novasense® Alcohol Sensation range is designed to credibly replicate and enhance alcohol character by targeting the key sensory cues found in alcoholic beverages. These solutions meet consumer expectations for taste and wellbeing, while also offering clear formulation and business advantages:
As more consumers moderate their alcohol intake for health and wellness reasons, functional beers offer a refreshing alternative. They bring light, crisp beer taste together with added benefits such as natural energy, relaxation, or simple refreshment. The profile stays familiar—not too sweet, often with citrus or modern flavor twists—to suit different drinking moments and stand apart from radlers or standard flavored beers.
With dsm‑firmenich’s premix expertise, brands can easily incorporate tailored nutrient blends and functional ingredients in one efficient solution, helping ensure consistent quality, convenience, and faster innovation across beverage formats. dsm‑firmenich can also support targeted propositions such as non‑alcoholic hydration beer or relaxation‑focused brews through customized functional blends.
As the no and low‑alcohol category continues to expand, our mission is to empower brands with the tools they need to deliver authentic, satisfying, spirit‑like drinking experiences—without relying on alcohol to carry flavor.
Boosting Spirits empowers beverage innovators to accelerate the creation of distinctive, high-quality spirits, spirit-based RTDs, adult soft-drinks and no and low- alcohol beverages with a revitalized toolkit of cutting-edge flavors and application-ready recipes.
