Abstrax Hops is known for its innovative botanical flavor tech. Now it has announced the expansion of its terpene-powered, TTB-approved Skyfarm Series. This fruit flavoring line now boasts six new flavors. This doubles its portfolio to 12 vibrant options designed for brewers and beverage manufacturers alike. The new lineup includes Clementine, Grapefruit, Honeydew, Kiwi, Passionfruit and Raspberry. Each is crafted to add refreshing, fruit-forward profiles to beer, seltzers and more. These new additions promise to be key flavor trends for summer 2025. Looking ahead this could provide creative possibilities for brewers looking to enhance their recipes.
The expanded Skyfarm Series builds on the success of the original lineup. That included Guava, Mango, Peach, Pineapple, Strawberry and Watermelon. Together, these 12 flavors offer opportunities for beverage makers to infuse products with the bright, juicy essence that consumers crave. Whether used in hazy IPAs, sours, lagers or non-alcoholic beverages, the Skyfarm Series enables brewers to elevate their sensory experience without the hassle of traditional fruit additives like purees or syrups. With no added sugar, the flavors are also ideal for low-calorie applications.
Innovative flavors, perfected through cutting-edge tech
The development of the Skyfarm Series stems from Abstrax’s expertise in botanical analysis and extraction technology. Each flavor profile captures the essence of real fruits, ensuring consistent quality and scalability for large or small-scale brewing operations. The advanced technology behind these terpene-powered flavors ensures that brewers can deliver superior, fruit-driven beers without the challenges of working with fresh fruit. The Skyfarm Series simplifies the brewing process by eliminating the issues associated with fruit purees, such as high costs, complex storage, and the risk of inconsistent flavor outcomes.
“We’ve seen an incredible response from brewers and functional beverage manufacturers utilizing the Skyfarm Series to push the boundaries of their beer and beyond beer beverage recipes,” said Jim Ringo, VP of Sales and Marketing at Abstrax Hops. “With the addition of these new flavors, we’re giving our customers even more tools to create the next wave of summer favorites. These fruit flavors are on-trend with consumers, versatile in recipes, work well together as blends, and will undoubtedly be in high demand for Summer 2025.”
The Skyfarm Series’ latest flavor additions include:
- Clementine: A bright and zesty burst of citrus that complements IPAs and light ales.
