Abstract

A foam on beer (FOB) detector (300) is disclosed which comprises a chamber body (340), a fluid inlet (321), a fluid outlet (320), a fluid flow path passing from the inlet (321) to the outlet (320), and a flow path interrupter (360). The fluid inlet (321) is disposed at the first end (341) of the chamber body (340), and arranged so as to guide flow into the chamber body (340) in an axial direction, and the fluid outlet (320) is disposed at the second end (342) of the chamber body, and configured to guide flow out of the chamber body (340) in the axial direction.
