摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a fermented malt beverage capable of stably imparting a sufficiently strong herbal flavor or fruity flavor to the fermented malt beverage, and a fermented malt beverage that has been imparted with a sufficiently strong herbal flavor or fruity flavor. In the production of a fermented malt beverage using hops, the fermented malt beverage imparted with an herbal flavor or fruity flavor is produced by adjusting the content of herbal flavor components or fruity flavor components derived from hops, and the content of fermentation products that mask these herbal flavor components or fruity flavor components, in the beverage so as to increase the ratio of herbal flavor components or fruity flavor components in relation to the content of the fermentation products.
