    Yeah, and muddy would be sooo enticing.

    I would just avoid the juice bombs then, go with traditional IPAs or other styles to avoid this. I actually love it, meal in a can.
    Cheers

    Am I oversimplifying this to suggest reading reviews and looking for ones that are creamy and smooth?

    That's not always an option. When I bought Trinity and the Cypress/Icarus collab beer, they were bought on the fly the same day at a bottle store (that only sells 6 packs or better) in another state. I read the cans, seeing nothing that would hint on what bothers me.

    I wish it was that simple.. but obviously, not everyone has the same issue as I do. Although it really doesn't deter me all that much, it's still a PITA when I spend money on a 4 or 6 pack that I have to give the rest away.

    @TheGent It's very possible that flour could be the culprit. How often have I seen flour in a brewery's description? Trinity may be the 1st.

    It's really the locals I'm thinking of, too. They all have it to some degree, and I bet water chemistry, particulates and yeast all play their part.

    The sensation is pretty much, I hate to say it, exactly like drinking a calcium-added oj. An almost aspirin-y mouthfeel and finish.
