Ugh, look at this shat from a beer I poured today. I think the other ones were clear? Not sure but this is the kind of lack of attention to quality that we can all agree sucks.View attachment 654063
Is that a "Rome City IPA"? The can at the bottom of the pic sure looks like it. And when I had this beer it shat in my glass too!

Steam works flagship won best IPA in bc and regularly looks exactly like that. CheersSo glad I called them. Super cool guys. They won gabf with that, pretty impressive. They offered to send a sixer right away and I didn't ask for that or anything. He said its an unfortunate part of this recipe, if the beer sits to long that happens. The can was from june. They dont want to change recipe though, cant blaim them after winning gabf. He said their helles won silver this year and another got a bronze. Their response was first class and I will try the helles and have no problem giving a fresh can a try. Super class organization, good on them.
Just to add a data-point to this conversation: I was in Des Moines over Labor Day. Ordered an "American Pale Ale" at a place, and was served a glass of opaque "juiciness"! No mention in the description of the beer anywhere that this was a "juice bomb".
This is a reason why descriptors exist... if I ordered an IPA five years ago and I was served a beer that looked like a stout or schwarzbier, I would send it back-- oh wait, CDA or Black IPA would have been used to describe it!
Name these beers "juicies" or "sippy cup" or whatever... but let the consumer have an idea of what they are getting into!
This seemed relevant too!View attachment 656305
Just got my flex+ today.
Wife got me a tilt hydrometer for Christmas.
Need to set up my SS brewtech 1v with my bag.
Need to clean/passivate all that stuff and test with water. I have 2 new unopened corny kegs.
All this shiny stuff is piling up!
Need to brew a clear boi west coasty bitter friend!
Looks cold outside lol. Was Galaxy the only hops in that beer?
When NEIPAs originated, they didn't want to create a hazy beer. They wanted to create a beer loaded with hop flavor....particularly some of the modern (at the time) hops that featured a very fruit forward flavor profile. The haze just came with the process.
Yet somewhere along the way someone thought it was a good idea to start adding flour to the recipe to deliberately make it cloudy?
As a general rule, good examples of the style don't do that. Given the pavlovian response to hazy beers these days, there may be some brewers (home and pro) who add flour in the common but mistaken concept that if some haze is good, more is better.
The bottom line for me personally? If it tastes good and smells good, it's good. I don't need haze, but I don't let it keep me from drinking tasty beer. If adding flour somehow makes it taste better, smell better or perhaps give it a better mouthfeel, I'm fine with it. If it's just done to make it murkier, I'll leave that for the less discerning beer drinkers.
I have two choice words for you in response. Guess what they are?The juice lovers ARE your "less discerning beer drinkers"
I’m sorry?I have two choice words for you in response. Guess what they are?
I’m sorry?
Ok, that was pretty good
But, no. Way harsher...
Cheers!
They like joose that tastes like beer or beer that tastes like joose? [emoji848]The juice lovers ARE your "less discerning beer drinkers"
Do people really do that?LOL...
27 pages. some heated. Not sure what was meant to be taken seriously here. As one example; adding flour to your beer to emulate haze? That's just to farkken stupid for words.....
You're rightI have two choice words for you in response. Guess what they are?
Appreciate beer for what it is. Aversion to hazy for clarity's sake is dumb. Aversion to clarity becuase OMGHAZE4DAYZ is equally dumb. Drink what tastes [and smells] good.I always just laugh at the joose heads who think they know everything about beer when in reality they know very little and do not have refined palattes.
If you enjoy hazebois but cannot appreciate a really good west coast clear IPA I can't take your opinion about ANY beer seriously
Guess he got his fill of juice being reanimated.
