Lager Hefe

[SasquatchFarmer]

So, I was digging through my beer fridge and I found this unmarked bottle. Decided I would pop it open. Pours a nice light golden color and was VERY clear. I took a drink and bam, it was one of my hefe's from last summer. If it sat in the fridge that long, would the cold temp drop the yeast from suspension? It was a very cloudy typical hefe, but now it looks like a lager. And... it tastes amazing! Any ideas?

Cold temp and time will clear any beer

Thanks?

It's a slow-mo cold crash.
Just curious, was there a ton of yeast sediment at the bottom of the bottle?

I'm drinking a six of Magic Hat Circus Boy. It's billed as a wheat beer with yeast.
It pours a fairly clear golden color - until you swirl the remaining contents into a glass, then it clouds up.

If you let any beer sit long enough in a refrigerator almost any yeast will tend to settle out. That's why it's called "lagering".
