Well... Id expect it to be clear. Most no chill guys have not had any lingering haze. I guess since it was flat, there was obviously no CO2, and there would probably be ample O2 in there. That being said, would we expect anything OTHER than cardboard beer in this case?
Does this prove anything, since the beer was obviously oxidized from the poor seal?
You would expect it to be clear, but many here are convinced that no-chill = hazy beer. I have shown a second example where that is not the case. It's not an ideal example, but oxidation isn't going to make chill haze go away. Like I mentioned in the first post, this proves nothing. But it does add additional evidence to the argument that no chill beer can be free of chill haze. I was hoping to add information on flavor profile but that obviously didn't happen.
I would point out that I do get chill haze in some batches. I don't actively try to stop chill haze. I don't consider it a big deal. But they are all batches I hurry and cut corners on. I would wager any of them would have chill haze despite my chilling method. I rarely get chill haze on batches I put any sort of care into.
