yeastiness

Fresh bakery aroma

Yeastiness is the quality of having yeast-like characteristics—the smell, taste, or texture associated with fermentation.

Beer or bread may have a pleasant yeastiness.

Figuratively, yeastiness suggests frothy energy or restless ferment: The yeastiness of the crowd before the concert was palpable.
