The skyfarm series represents the freshest, most perfect version of fruit flavor and aroma. It has none of that “cooked” off-flavor that can sometimes tank a beer. There’s also none of that grandma’s perfume, potpourri, or floral junk either.
skyfarm is high-amplitude, recognizable flavor - and that’s important because when you put Strawberry on your label, consumers are going to expect to smell strawberries. It’s built with terpenes for the ultimate flavor consistency, ensuring the same flavor in every season.
Maybe you’ve tried purees. Maybe you’ve tried concentrates. skyfarm is none of that. So let’s get into it.
Compare these to the flavor of other options and it’s like night and day.
Strong and recognizable fruity aroma every time you crack a can.
There’s no sugar in skyfarm, so there’s no risk of refermentation.
Absolutely no ethanol or alcohol needed to carry the flavor through.
skyfarm goes right into your existing workflow with no modifications.
Every flavor is TTB-Approved with FIDS documents available.
skyfarm is immediately dispersed into solution. Less wait, more beer.
These are aromatic top notes that don’t impart sweetness or body.
"Having spent over a decade researching flavor in beer, wine, and spirits I've tasted my fair share of fatty, rancid mango flavors and peach aromatics that smelled more like perfume than the fresh Palisade peaches I grew up eating. skyfarm steers in the other direction, representing the freshest, most desirable fruit that's lodged away in nostalgia. These are unequivocally the best fruit flavors I've tasted."

skyfarm is a liquid so there is nothing to soak up potential beer.
Adding to the brite tank enables precise flavor control in the final beer, eliminating the risk of aromatic compound loss from additional processing. This method also prevents flavor alterations caused by yeast activity and biotransformation.
skyfarm offers similar ease-of-use benefits as flavor extracts, but it goes way, way further in terms of flavor, aroma, and handling. It also requires only a fraction of the dosing you’d typically need. Terpenes are awesome.
As an alternative to fruit purees, concentrates, and essences - skyfarm has been built from the ground up using isolated terpenes. Think of them like little building blocks. We extract, purify, and then rebuild them into the brightest flavor expression possible. This precise control allows for us to create unbelievable, repeatable natural flavors and aromas without the added sugar or the calories.
We’ve found that simply smelling skyfarm is usually enough for people to try them in their next batch. They’re that good. So let’s get them into your hands. Click below to contact us.

Turns out - not really. Fruit purees are literal sugar bombs that require diligent, careful dosing. Not to mention the inherent flavor/aroma inconsistencies that can come with using harvested fruit. Your puree this year might taste different from last year.
Now don’t get us wrong, fruit purees have their place. They contribute body and mouthfeel to the finished beer, which can be great! If you can pair the best aspects of purees with an incredible and consistent aromatic punch, then baby, you’ve got a stew going.
Fruit is usually added during the fermentation process so that the yeast can eat up all of that extra sugar. But guess what yeast creates? Carbon dioxide. And excess carbon dioxide will easily strip off the volatile aromatic compounds.
Add the puree too early and you’re butchering the aromatics that you’re after. Add it too late and you’ll have to deal with sugar and possible refermentation due to lingering yeast.
skyfarm has absolutely zero sugar. There is no risk of refermentation and you don’t need to do a little dance just to get it into your beer. Add it to your brite tank and you’re done.
It’s also way, way more potent than other natural flavor/extract options. We recommend that you experiment with a small dose to get the feel of things. This is a lot more bang for your buck.
The pectin in the fruit contributes to the cloudy, haziness found in some beers. Maybe that’s what you’re after. Or maybe you’d like to have the same (or greater) fruity aroma in a beer you can actually see through.
There’s also the issue of tank cleanup from that sweet, sweet sugar residue. It’s not usually a dealbreaker, but hey, who wouldn’t like to shorten their turnover time?
skyfarm contributes no haze so you can keep your beer golden and clear without feeling like you’re drinking a milkshake.
It’s also not sticky and doesn’t leave a residue so forget about scrubbing fruit gunk from your tanks.
Like it or not - the seltzer revolution has changed the way consumers drink. People are looking for more varied and flavorful options today. Whether that means beer, seltzers, or ciders - people want flavor.
skyfarm works flawlessly in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. It adds no sugar, no calories, and yet it still smacks you in the face with flavor and aroma. It’s hyper-concentrated so that you don’t need nearly as much, and it’s shelf stable so shipping and storing are a breeze. Just toss it in the fridge after you’ve opened it.
There is no seasonal variability or weird “cooked” or “canned” flavors. There’s no yield loss, no refermentation, no haze contribution, no sugar, and no calories. Heck, it’s not even flammable.

Storage: We strongly recommend leaving skyfarm unopened in a cool, dark place until ready for use. When stored in the original sealed container under recommended storage conditions, the shelf life can be 1 year. It is recommended to use the full contents in one use. If storing after opened, keep refrigerated and, if possible, purge with inert gas to preserve the delicate aromatic compounds. Use opened product within 1 month.
Handling: skyfarm requires no special handling. You do not need to warm skyfarm for it to be flowable. Pour directly into the brite tank when ready. Consistent with good hygiene and lab practices, maintain good ventilation, wear safety glasses or goggles, gloves, and an apron when handling.
