I had a ipa fermenting while I was on vacation so it would be ready for my empty keg when I got home :D Well got home Thur racked to keg and forced carbed Friday morning at this point I realized i had forgotten to put any clearing agent in the boil (really cloudy)not a major problem my stomach has never refused a beer due to appearance
So I took a couple liters over to a buddies house and stuck them in his freezer (they had gotten warm while waiting on the wife) well I forgot about 1 of the bottles. As I am leaving I took it out and put it in the fridge to thaw. I came back over the next morning and the beer was extremely clear with a lot of sediment so i was curious how this would affect the beer.Went home and froze a bottle ,thawed and did a taste test :D In my opinion any experiment involving beer is a good experiment :D
Cloudy beer - nice and bitter,still probably a little green ,good head retention,going to be nice in a couple of weeks if it last that long
Frozen beer - really good , it took some of the bite out of the hops , mellowed out some of the young flavor , wife really enjoyed this beer compared to the cloudy version, bearly any head and lower carbonation
I was kinda shocked that the frozen beer had tasted so good
sorry bout the long post its 2:30 in the morning ,at work, and bored
