    Sam Adams, what is going on?! Whitewater IPA gooped out of the bottle, glass is filled with off white floaties. Poured it down the drain, another bottle has the same crap in it. Very embarassing when you brought a 6 pack to a summer party.

    Same thing happened to me with a can of Jai Alai last week. Taste was a bit off, but I managed to drink it anyway. Just not as hoppy.

    Why on earth would you, after you already know there's some floaties, go ahead and pour the 2nd beer in the same fashion as the 1st?

    Your first mistake was drinking Sam Adams.

    Visible sediment is not necessarily a bad thing, and from what I remember this is normal for Whitewater IPA. Did you taste it?

    I guess we were hoping that first bottle was a fluke, we were wrong. They all are trash.

    That is pretty normal for this beer. If you don't want the sediment, then leave the last ounce in the bottle.

    He said "gooped out" and mentioned "floaties." Sediment is not the same thing as floaties, and gooped out gives the impression it was viscous and slimy. Definitely not normal.

    Good timing because I just had this beer this weekend. I didnt really notice the sediment but what bothered me was is that I thought this beer was a White IPA and it wasnt. Tasted like a standard IPA. Also I couldnt really taste the apricot that much. Thought this beer was pretty good actually despite my complaints. It was hoppy, piney, grapefruity, citrusy. Again, a solid IPA and I didnt notice much of the "white ale" aspect of it.

    Gonna also be that guy, but with so many other better IPA options readily available...why even bring whitewater in the first place?

    If you think that's embarassing, don't pour a Heady Topper into a glass...

    Jai Alai is going to have floaters if you pour the whole can. Most Cigar Cities I've had where like that.

    The two bottles of Utopias in my cellar disagree with you and your judgement of an entire brewery based on one person's 2 bad bottles of beer.

    OP, have you considered actually emailing the brewery and asking them about it? Not a lot we can do for you

    Did you talk to the people you bought it from?

    Email someone at the brewery?

    What good does it do to bitch about it on BA?
