    There are little white pieces of sediment in this beer, a lot of it too. The beer tastes pretty good, I believe as intended.

    Should I be worried? What is this, the salt or something?

    That's suspended yeast/protein that has settled out. It's the same with IPAs with hop sediment in the bottom.

    Just keep a little bit of beer in the can when you are done pouring and make sure to do it slowly.

    If the beer tastes good then you never have to worry. :grinning:

    Yeah it is probably yeast. Does it say bottle conditioned anywhere on it ? I experienced this once and sent the brewer an email with a picture and the lot numbers of the beer. (I figured if I was the brewer, I would have wanted to know).

    It was a can. From prior reviews, nobody talks about sediment. There was a TON of sediment in this one. The beer itself was really tasty, but I couldn't drink the last little bit because I was weirded out by the floaties. Next time I'll just pound it lol. Thanks for the responses

    I've noticed the same after not having it for a while..... Left some in my glass and the next morning the sediment settled and I swear it looked like table salt. Idk if it is salt or yeast..looks like salt to me.
    I have noticed salt in other goses right away like prairie flare..
