'''Off flavors''' are flavors that are either considered to be undesirable by a majority of sour beer brewers, or by at least a significant number of sour beer brewers. Note that there is not always agreement on what is an ''off flavor'', nor at what threshold a given flavor component is to be considered an ''off flavor''. Example: [[ethyl acetate]] in "low levels" has a fruity, pineapple flavor. In higher amounts, [[ethyl acetate]] has the aroma of nail polish that is generally not desirable.
