    Just curious of some that you have had. Not only is PsuedoSue one of the best APAs ever made but hot damn is it ugly.

    Having a bomber of it right now, the first class was beautiful glowing peach color. The second half looks like this....

    I should have poured more carefully but alas there it is!

    Tastes great! As always though.

    My avatar shows the first half of a Heady; beautiful stuff. I didn't pour out the other half, as the eldritch horrors within were not meant for mortal eyes.

    You guys must have never seen a blueberry beer at a restaurant with the blueberries in it. Absolutely disgusting looking.

    Abita's 18th Star Biere de Garde. Looks like someone pissed into a mud puddle. Doesn't taste much better.

    Yeah those are pretty bad. I was at a bar with my girlfriend and her co-workers, and the bartender did this when I ordered a Wachusett Blueberry. Beer is pretty bad as is, but it was that or BMC stuff. They were frozen too. I fished them out with a spoon.

    I actually like seeing the blueberries bob up and down like an alcoholic lava lamp. I just won't drink the vile stuff.

    Unless these are wheat beers, surely they'd look OK if you pour carefully and leave the sediment in the bottle?

    Hammerheart British Invasion is a cloudy brooding brew

    New Belgium The Trip XV (http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/192/89579). Had on tap at Elysian Fields in Seattle. It did not look good whatsoever, wish I had a picture. It was opaque and dark brown, almost purplish (could have been the lighting) and the tiniest little head that disappeared very quickly. Not a bad beer though, very interesting.

    Heady was so ugly poured from the can. I also popped open a 2012 succaba earlier this week, it was some muddy looking heavenly tasting brew indeed. It reminded me of fishing for catfish.

    The ugliest beer is any beer that tastes like crap.

    I always found SA Blackberry Witbier to look disgusting, and I wasn't disappointed when I tasted it.

    Coconut Curry Hefe was pretty gross looking. Tasted gross too so at they were consistent with that one.

    Poured Autumn Maple from The Bruery and it was a cloudy mess with what I can only guess are beet seeds floating in it. Looked like some had backwashed my beer before I even had a sip. It was an okay tasting beer but nothing that I will be revisiting
