The exact cause of this perceived flavor is not definitive. However, ''Tetrahydropyridine'' seems to be the most likely cause. Dimethyl Sulfide has also been indicated as a potential cause to this flavor in sour beers, probably due to the similar ''popcorn'' flavor that DMS can provide. The flavor tends to age out of sour beers, although the exact mechanism for this is not fully understood <ref>[http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f127/cheerios-character-after-bottling-504468/#post6516169 Tonsmeire, Michael.
