I guess this is around three years old, still costs $40 and still not worth the price of admission. That being said it smells pretty good, Chardonnay and funky bacteria. Flavor was honey, slightly sour, high alcohol. Overall not bad but what a joke of a price.

Standard appearance for the style. Decent lacing, some retention, appropriate head development. Carbonation is a bit lighter than I'd expect.
Smells like a baby butthole. The phenols, minor sulfur, plasticity, tannins, white grape skins, vinuous-ness. Its just too much and nothing blends. All together weird beer for the nose. So much fighting to be identified and muddied at the same time.
Flavors are stronger in wine power. The chardonnay comes through beyond belief, but so do the tannins. They really really overdid the pear on this. It comes out, it has a light pear sweetness, but all that fruit leaves a citric acid and tannic bitterness for the finish that drives you wild.
It also is boozy as hell from the wine characteristics. The phenols are sulfury light, some plastic, some barn wall tastes, but also banana and tropical fruit to go along with the pears.
Way too syrupy in body, too boozy, not dry enough, just overall missing a lot of things in mouthfeel that are not worth mentioning. It was average...
I know what they were attempting to do, but I dont think they succeeded at all. Too many shits in a pot turns the thing into a stopped drain.
