What is indicated by a 'thin ring of gunk' at the neck of a beer bottle?

It enhances the beer's flavor

It shows the beer is freshly bottled

It may indicate the beer is spoiled

A 'thin ring of gunk' at the neck of a beer bottle is most commonly associated with spoilage or contamination. This residue can form when yeast or other microorganisms are active in the bottle, potentially indicating that the beer has fermented further after being bottled or that it has been improperly handled, leading to a decreased quality. It can also suggest that the beer has been sitting for an extended period, allowing for contaminants to settle and accumulate. This is not a sign of freshness or proper handling, so the observation of this ring is a cause for concern regarding the condition of the beer and its suitability for consumption.
