Which of the following flavors is produced by yeast during fermentation?

During fermentation, yeast actively converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and in the process, they also produce a variety of flavor compounds. One of the notable flavors that certain yeast strains can contribute to beer is clove. This distinct clove flavor is primarily associated with specific yeast strains, particularly those used in brewing wheat beers, like Hefeweizens. The presence of phenolic compounds produced during fermentation by these strains results in the clove character, which is often sought after in these styles of beer.

Other flavors listed, such as vanilla, caramel, and honey, are typically produced through different processes rather than direct yeast fermentation. Vanilla usually comes from adjuncts or flavorings added post-fermentation, caramel is often derived from the caramelization of malts during the brewing process, and honey can be added as an ingredient but is not produced by yeast itself during fermentation. Thus, clove is the flavor uniquely associated with yeast activity in fermentation.
