Abstract: A beer-taste beverage having an original extract concentration of 20.0 mass % or more, an apparent fermentation degree of 70.0% or more and an alcohol content of less than 25.0 (v/v) %. A beer-taste beverage having a real extract concentration of 11.8 mass % or less and an alcohol content of 10.5 (v/v) % or more. A beer-taste beverage having an apparent fermentation degree of 70.0% or more and an alcohol content of 10.5 (v/v) % or more. A beer-taste beverage having an original extract concentration of 19.2 mass % or more and an alcohol content of 12.5 (v/v) % or more.

Abstract: Provided is a beer-taste beverage comprising 1000 ppb by mass or less of 4-vinylguaiacol, having an ethyl hexanoate content of 120 ppb by mass or more, and comprising at least one aroma component (X) selected from ?-decanolactone and ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, wherein a ratio of the content (unit: ppb by mass) of ethyl hexanoate to the total content (unit: ppb by mass) of the aroma component (X) [ethyl hexanoate/aroma component (X)] is 1100 or less.

Abstract: Provided is a beer-taste beverage comprising 1000 ppb by mass or less of 4-vinylguaiacol, having an ethyl n-butyrate content of 140 ppb by mass or more, and comprising at least one lactone selected from ?-decanolactone and ?-undecalactone, wherein a ratio of the content (unit:ppb by mass) of ethyl n-butyrate to the total content (unit:ppb by mass) of the lactone [ethyl n-butyrate/lactone] is 1100 or less.

Abstract: Provided is a beer-taste beverage comprising 1000 ppb by mass or less of 4-vinylguaiacol, and having an ethyl n-butyrate content of 140 ppb by mass or more, a ratio of the content (unit: ppb by mass) of ethyl n-butyrate to the content (unit: ppb by mass) of ?-nonalactone [ethyl n-butyrate/?-nonalactone] is 23 or less.
