I just bought this India pale ale and there's a bunch of little floaty flake looking things in it, saw the same thing in Blue Moon also, what is it?

Its unfermented yeast. If the beer your drinking says its unfiltered than you should pour 3/4 the beer in a glass swish around the remaining amount of beer in the bottle then pour it into the glass. This will give the beer the flavor its supposed to have. The only exception for this is if the beer your drinking is a home brew (home made beer) because they are all unfiltered and don't always require the yeast to be in the beer when you drink it.

If the beer is bottle fermented like Coopers in Australia you will have a small amount of sediment settled in the bottom of your beer. Gently tip your beer upside down two or three times to distribute it around the beer. It's harmless and tasteless if you mix it up. Bit nasty on the tongue if you cop a big blob of it at the end.

the "floaty stuff" is yeast that settled out of your beer. It is harmless and often appears in unfiltered beers.

NO - it's not ice.
It's the stuff they use to process the alcohol. Sometimes things are added after it's bottled so that it gets more flavor and more carbonation.
I think it's yeast - I forget exactly what it is.

sediment... the beer probably isn't filtered. Blue Moon is a belgian white and those aren't filtered either. If it is sediment its totally safe... don't worry about it.

Sometimes, ice ships form, if its real cold beer.
Ice that was on the bottom of the glass in the cooler.

Ewww, probably back-wash (you know - they take a taste before putting the cap on!!)
