Pistachio Flavoring

Super Strength Pistachio FlavoringA typical 5-6 gallon batch uses 1-2 drams (0.125-0.25 oz), depending on the flavor and desired intensity. Add the flavor during kegging or bottling, starting with the lower amount and adjusting gradually to taste. Mix gently and sample before treating the entire batch. Flavor Profile and Beverage IdeasPistachio has a sweet roasted-nut profile with almond-like aroma and a creamy finish. Use it in brown ale, porter, stout, cream ale, dessert mead, or sweet wine. It works best when the base has enough malt or honey character to support the nutty sweetness. Vanilla, chocolate, cherry, almond, coffee, and orange are useful complements. In a dry base, Pistachio will read sharper; a little residual sweetness will make the aroma and finish feel fuller. See our full offering of LorAnn Flavorings here.
