yeasty
Smelling of fermentation
Yeasty describes something containing or resembling yeast—frothy, foamy, or in a state of fermentation: a yeasty smell from the brewery.
Figuratively, yeasty suggests restless energy, turbulent change, or creative ferment: the yeasty early days of the startup, a yeasty intellectual atmosphere.
The word can also mean frivolous or superficial, though this sense is less common.
