Pours an awesome looking brew. This beer has a golden fizzy look with tons of carbonation exactly like champagne. Had been waiting to try this and was very exciting.
Smell is interesting. There is a nice floral and fruity taste to the beer. Some good smells coming out.
Taste falls flat compared to smell. I was expecting more, but there was not a ton going on. A bit of a fruity taste, but the finish falls very flat and dull.
Mouthfeel is nice. Very refreshing and crisp just like a champagne.
Drinkability is not good. For one, the beer is really expensive. Secondly, the taste is nothing to right home about. Finally, I would recommend trying it because it is a one and only type of beer, but it might be one and only for a reason...

750 ml bottle, vintage 2011. Thanks to my homie mfndsvp for sharing this bottle. Served into a Shock Top hefeweizen glass. My second review of a collaboration beer on BeerAdvocate.

A - Gentle pour yields like five fingers of ridiculous head. Body is a light cloudy golden orange color with tons of bubble action rushing to the top.

S - Has a fruity pineapple nose, slight hint of Belgian yeast / funk in there also. Has a very unique smell to it, I will give it that.

T - Feel is carbonated, some tart citrus reminiscent of fresh juicy pineapple, Belgian yeast, touch of hop bitterness, and some alcohol warmth, but the 10.30% abv is masked well. Finishes slightly sour.

M - Feel is juicy, fruity, bitter, and dry in the finish.

Overall, a unique beer experience, probably one that I won't soon forget. Glad to have gotten to try it, since I wasn't about to take the plunge for 20 dollars. Not a beer I will be having again any time soon, especially considering it's price tag, but this is one of the more far-out creations from the Boston Beer Company.
