100% this. I’ve had a beer clear and thought…hmmm, I liked it better when it was murky. Granted, it had been sitting in the keg for awhile too..

So take aways were to drink faster, or shake up the keg before serving.

Maybe not so much the second thing tho.
Some people go to great lengths to have clear beer, but it's not always necessary. Other than entering in competition I don't see a big need.

Sorry..I actually meant it tasted better. Taste changing and the associated clearing was largely based on it probably being old. Hence, just gotta drink it quicker.

I've made a lager a couple of times, I definitely get a kick out of watching it pour out crystal clear so I do get it!! 😁

That is exactly how I feel about it. I see people obsessing over the fact that their beer is not crystal clear and I think, "OK, but is it good?" LOL. Of course as I have said many times, I am no pro or even a novice, so take what I say for what it is worth, not much in most cases. LOL

You don't give yourself enough credit. It's all personal preference.
