    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.

    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..
