anyone want to classify this floating byproduct? Beer tastes fine.

The photo is too blurry. Focus on the objects in question.

It's probably just yeast, but the dark color is concerning for possible mold.
 
looks like mold, and it's also the clearest beer i've ever seen?

edit: either that fermenter is empty, the mold is on some sorta glass lid...or i'm blind....?

It's a beer glass with just a little bit of beer and the globs in question ;)
 
Did this beer come from a keg, or a bottle? If a bottle, depending on how long it's been in there, might very well be mold that developed above the level of the beer in the bottle, and came loose during the pour. If from a keg, I got nothing...except are you sure there wasn't anything in the glass before you poured it?
 
If it is mold and it's from a bottle, my guess would be that it was in there before bottling and the bottles just weren't properly cleaned.
I don't think mold could grow inside a sealed bottle full of beer.
