Ok, so if you leave about a centermetre of beer in the bottom of a pint glass, leave it in the sun for 3 days it starts to smell like PVA glue. Why the hell is this?

Are they putting glue in my beer! :S

 

... how on earth do you know this?!

I think the real question is, WHY ARE YOU LEAVING 1 CM OF BEER IN YOUR GLASS?! 

I'm sure GKirk will agree with me there!

no its the breakdown of the preservatives to keep the beer fresh. the compounds.

Man, why would you leave 1cm of beer? It was warm is no excuse, why would let it go warm?

If i remember correctly, i was so pi**ed that i went for a walk around campus and ended up taking about 3 hrs to walk less than a 1/4 of a mile, stopping in every block for a drink with friends!

I always empty my glass. But doesn't English beer always tastes like glue?

It was actually part of a pint of Grolsch! So not English beer! ha ha! lol

Quoting Chris78cpr (Reply 7): It was warm!!!!

Poor excuse   

In the bible of GKirk, it clearly states:
"Thou shall not leave a single drop of beer in a glass, it shall all be drunk by the time of your departure from the pub"

Yes, quite a lot of real ale and beers.
They can't make Lager to save themselves though...

Very true!

UK lager is sh**e! I can't even think of an example. Real Ale and Bitter is good tho!

The beer is getting lightstruck. The hops break down under the UV light of the sun, releasing that "skunk" smell and taste.

This also happens to bottled beer. Green and clear bottles are totally transparent to UV rays. Some beer can get lightstruck in as little as 5 minutes of exposure. Bottled Heineken is always lightstruck.

Brown bottles offer better protection, but not immunity.

Finally someone answers my Q seriously! 

Would the same happen to cider ? I have in the past , on occasion, been known to leave a little in the bottom of my pint of Strongbow.....

Therein lies your problem - Grolsch is   . To be avoided at all costs. Anyway, if you're a student you shouldn't be able to afford premium beers - we used to drink Breaker at Uni. Kwalitee!
