The title asks it all:
Why is clarity a "good thing", and why do people work so hard to make a clearer brew?
Beverages I hate clarity in:
1) coffee
2) red wine
3) apple cider (not hard cider)
I very much prefer apple cider to apple juice, which typically has been filtered and pasteurized as the main difference.
Is a clear beer "missing" some mouthfeel and flavor complexities? Have negative qualities, other than presentation, been intentionally removed?
If the main difference is presentation, how many of you actually care, and how many of you actively prefer a non-clear brew?
Thanks for indulging my curiosity!
