It has been two weeks since we bottled our Sam Adams Summer Ale clone, and last night Eric and I decided to try it.
Before opening the bottles, Eric had noticed a cloudy character to the beer, that seemed to be slowly settling. When we poured it out, it had a nice amount of carbonation, a light head, and was very noticeably cloudy. The smell and flavor was quite yeasty. It did have a good summer ale flavor behind that yeastiness, but it was masked. We decided to let it sit a bit longer and hope that it settles out more.
There are a few reasons it could be cloudy. The most likely answer seems that there was an issue during the pouring or transportation that caused the yeast to be agitated and suspended in the solution. Hopefully the beer will settle out soon and the delicious flavor will shine through!
