". Bad pour on the pilsner made it cloudy" Can you explain how your pour made it cloudy? The Helles doesn't look better.
I think there was some junk from the wet hop at the bottom of the can. Final of the pour was a little cloudy. Helles was crystal clear just my crappy lighting. If you look at the very bottom of glass you can see the difference in clarity

Actually, from the source. I have had a couple of their lagers which have been cloudy. Very good beers but it's just odd for me to have a cloudy lager.

Here's it's from the source/draft/brewery. I drive and extra hour in a four hour drive to visit their brewery. Well worth it

Thanks for replying.
"I think there was some junk from the wet hop at the bottom of the can" Quality control problem in my book, it's not a wheat beer.
 
I'm not much for 'dessert' beers, but this one is actually pretty nice. The Gatekeeper Belgian Chocolate Stout, from local Ol' Beautiful Brewing!

Gets much more smoky as it warms, but definite chocolate 'liqueur' taste throughout...almost crisp at the finish. Very nice...and the taproom looks amazing. Might have to plan a tour and an Uber. Cheers! :mug:

In the spirit of learning I did a little late night research. Lagers were my fav styles to brew back in the day. So to me lagers are about clarity I found on the interwebs that the style sometimes has a bit of haze due to the excessive hopping. On the other side of the fence all the commercial Italian pilsners I've had have been clear. Pappers even had some discussions on the vagueness on the style. Either way the wet hopped aosta is a good beer. In my old age im setting my curmudgeonness aside to enjoy the beer. Hey! I can even respect people that hate hazey ipas :)
