    The beer I just poured is full of unappetizing-looking flecks floating around in there. I assume this is due to age: the bottom of the can reads 14878 PKGD 09:17 09/30/15 A 020867.

    Still tastes all right, just looks funny.

    Likely just yeast sediment. I've noticed a little bit of yeast sediment at the bottom of the last bottle of Two Hearted I had. If it bothers you though just stop pouring the beer and leave the last half to quarter inch of beer in the bottle. Or pour it all in the glass and drink up, no harm in drinking it and it shouldn't alter the flavor.

    It tasted a little off, but I can't help but think I was biased. I also must admit, my bottle was old.... So it had two strikes on it before I ever took a sip.
