It's just yeast. If that bothers you, you should practice pouring slower to leave the yeast at the bottom or get a strainer like you would use with an older bottle of wine. There is most likely nothing wrong with the beer.Yeah.But a light brown dandruff?Was it yeast? If so, nothing to worry about. Everything's fine. Commense imbibing.Looks like ####ing dandruff. :X
Good luck in the morning! They call it skullsplitter for a reason. I don't know what it is about that beer but headaches are a guarantee. Unless you're a tiny Irish guy named Joey from..Ireland...and drink 12 or 13 of them at a time while tending bar at the local Scottish pub.Its pretty rare that after 6600 posts you get to introduce a new beer into this thread. I just finished a SkullSplitter, which is a Scotch Wee Heavy, from of all places, Scotland. This is a classic example of the style, with malt being in the forefront. Toffee like taste, with a hint of smoke/peat which I was hoping would be a little bit stronger. Just a tad bit of alcohol burn. Good beer and I may have to visit this one again (bought a single).
Having a May Bock from Southampton. It only bothered me at first. I had to try the beer, and it is great. So it didn't bother me for long.It's just yeast.

Judging by your review on BA, I am guessing that you are happy that I told you not to send it.Gator inspired me to have a Racer 5.![]()
Yeah man. I was in such frenzy that day, because they didn't have what they said they had, that I forgot to buy two of them. So i am glad you sad to take it out.Judging by your review on BA, I am guessing that you are happy that I told you not to send it.Gator inspired me to have a Racer 5.![]()
Other than the yeast this is a great brew. 
Holy jeebus. Grab me one when they pop up.Summer Beer Release Schedule
The Dogfish Head Summer 2006 selection is coming!
In addition to our great year-round beers and our summer seasonal Aprihop, we have some great beers to coming out this summer... including a first-ever bottling - hold on to your bottle openers!
First out of the gates is our Liquor De Malt. We're pretty sure this beer is world's only bottle-conditioned Malt Liquor! We brew it with red, white and blue gourmet corns (for Independence Day, of course!). Each 40-ounce bottle comes with a Dogfish Head brown paper bag. This beer will be in VERY LIMITED release (only a few hundred cases!) and should be in stores before July 4th.
For August, keep your eyes peeled for Chateau Jiahu. Like our Midas Touch, this beer is based on an archeological finds. The Chateau Jiahu originated with 9,000 year-old pottery jars found in the Neolithic village of Jiahu, Henan province, Northern China. The crockery revealed a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey and fruit was being produced that long ago - right around the same time that barley beer and grape wine were Bimini to be made in the Middle East! We took the known ancient ingredients - added some 2006 Dogfish Head brewing sense (that might be an oxymoron), and some great label art by our friend Tara McPherson (she did the Fort labels too). The Chateau Jiahu will be released from the brewery mid-late August and should be in stores by the end of the month or the beginning of September (depends on where you are).
We've had lots of interest in our other ancient-based beer Midas Touch (thank you History Channel!). We do have two batches of the Midas hitting stores this summer, since it's such a great summer beer! The first round will be leaving the brewery beginning next week, then there will be another batch ready to go at the end of July. Pick some up and find out why Michael Jackson said of the Midas Touch, "A wonderfully complex beer, a wonderfully delicate beer, a dangerous thing, a great drink to welcome people to a party."
Finally, the highly-anticipated next batch of 120 Minute IPA will be ready to leave the Milton, DE brewery at the beginning of September! You'll probably start finding the 120 in stores mid-late September.
Simply awesome.
I got a feeling if I see them I should grab a bunch as they would be popular trading items.Holy jeebus. Grab me one when they pop up.Summer Beer Release Schedule

I want bothWhat? The Liquor De Malt?
I wasn't impressed with it. Seems like another in their list of "gimmicks". But you might as well try it once, right?I want bothWhat? The Liquor De Malt?
I had a chance to sample the Chateau Jiahu last summer at a conference (Sam was the speaker). It's like almost no other beer I've ever tried, but reminds me most of a Belgian. As I recall, there are flavor elements reminiscent of both Saison and Geuze - earthy, spicy, a bit sour, a bit funky. I'll definitely be on the lookout for this one!I got a feeling if I see them I should grab a bunch as they would be popular trading items.Holy jeebus.

What? The Liquor De Malt?

How did your Racer look?Gator inspired me to have a Racer 5.
Very fine. Went down way too easy. I checked the bottle. It is bottle conditioned, which means that they add active yeast to the bottle.How did your Racer look?Gator inspired me to have a Racer 5.

See my earlier comment. Had it. meh. I can appreciate what they're doing and trying to do as far as experimenting with beer. Unfortunately I don't usually appreciate the results. Midas Touch was the final straw. I'll stick with the 60 and 90 minutes and pass on the Forts, Pangaeas and Golden Showers.What? The Liquor De Malt?![]()
Had it at a BA fest a couple of years back. It's like Genesee Cream Ale with a supercharger bolted on. Big, sweet, yet somehow VERY drinkable. Did not seem to give me the Genny Screamers the following day.BTW, Genny Cream Ale on tap is a highly underrated brew. Plus you can get a 12 pack of Green Grenades for the cost of a quart of LDM.What? The Liquor De Malt?![]()
I didn't mind the Golden Shower at all. Good for a pilsner.See my earlier comment. Had it. meh. I can appreciate what they're doing and trying to do as far as experimenting with beer.

Thanks for the edit.
As I think I have said earlier in this thread. I will quote my father and say "drinking light beer is like going to a whore house to masturbate, it defeats the purpose."My beer of choice this evening was Michelob Ultra Amber. Great taste and light as well. If any of you light beer drinkers haven't tried it yet, you should.
Disclaimer: I have not read all 134 pages of this thread, or however many pages it has gone. Not sure how many have tried it, but it is pretty good for light beer.
SNPA stays with the hop theme; however, it may not have the appropriate heft necessary, therefore something like a SA Dark Lager could provide a nice counterpiont.44oz of Beer Republic beer destroyed. This is a FFA insta poll. What is next?
