    I recently picked up a 4 pack of Roaring Brook's Shark Bite XPA. It has to be fairly recent as I did not notice it on my last beer run. Canned by Rock Art in Morrisville.

    The sediment is whitish flakes. I'm not used to seeing floaties. Very unbalanced bitterness. Definitely not reviewing this can.

    What should I do?

    Suck it up? Maybe email roaring Brooks to see of that's what they were looking to be sending out.

    Ditto this. Let them know it doesn't look right.
    T'were me, I'd put it in my mouth and, if necessary, chew on it.

    Suck it up? Why the trolling? I was putting it there in case someone else had bought some had noticed the same thing.

    Now, why don't YOU go suck it up?

    I have emailed the brewery itself.

    You bought a beer you didn't like that may be not as the brewer intended. Telling you to move on isn't trolling. It what everyone else does. Sorry you got so touchy.

    I contacted the brewery and they were kind to send a check towards two 4 packs. I bought another 4 pack and I'm satisfied with the quality of it. I hope to see Arctic IPA in cans one of these days.

    Not for nothing, but when you complain about a place and then they send you a check that more than covers your costs it is good policy to post that (without being prompted to do so). Quality customer service is something everyone should know about.

    Not complaining here, just an observation that I too noticed the large amount of sediment in the four pack I got. I typically
    do not mind the sediment (one of my go to's this time of year is Overgrown.) but these cans did not taste as good as I remembered, I enjoyed them.
