Last night I picked up a 6 pack of Clipper City Brewing's "Category 5" ale. The little blip on the label states "This here pounder has a fine layer of yeast at her bottom. It won't send you to Dave Jones' locker, but will protect your brew from the rigors of life at sea."
I thought 'Cool, bottle conditioned.' However, examining the bottle more, it said nothing about how to handle a bottle conditioned beer - which is something I thought it should have for people who don't know the concept. And after pouring out the beer like I do any of my homebrews, I noticed that it had absolutely no sediment in the bottom. So I poured the bottom of the beer into my glass and it was still crystal clear.
Anyone know why it claims to have "a fine layer of yeast at her bottom" if it doesn't actually have one? Or am I missing something here?
