Causes of haze in beer
• ‘Natural’ hazes–precipitates & colloids
• Process aids–Poor quality– Incorrect use
• Contaminants–Foreign bodies–Microbial infection

Beer Colour
• Some red and darker beers can give artificially high results
• Only on certain instruments–Light wavelength is key factor
• Most brewers set specifications accordingly
• A ratio measurement compensates influence of beer colour

Summary
• Haze in beer is a key quality parameter
• There is no international standard for the analysis
• Ring trials and collaboration are beginning to harmonise methods
• Ultimately individual brewers work with what is best for them
