    Ive had this beer multiple times, and the appearance is much cloudier than usual. Almost looks like a frozen orange smoothie. Tastes a bit off, but not bad. Bottled May 3rd, so its fresh. Could this have sat on a truck at some point?

    Do you usually try to decant all the yeast? Maybe it was just settled less than usual being relatively fresh.

    Would have definitely sat on a truck at some point.

    FYI, every beer you've every bought has spent time on a truck.

    I posted this from a phone, I should have been more specific, saying could it have sat out in the heat on a truck. I did pour it aggressively, but then I had another and it looked the same. Anyways, I didn't know if anyone had a similar experience with this beer recently. Either way, it tasted ok, no big deal.

    Kellerweiss is a bottle conditioned, unfiltered beer. Hefeweizens get the majority of their flavor from the yeast, so traditionally it is not filtered out, giving the beer a cloudy appearance that is actually desired in this style.
