I saved my 750ml bottle of Infinium for 3 months waiting for a celebratory moment and one came last week. So, since I was pretty in-the-dark about this beer when I acquired it, I checked out all the info on the Boston Beer Co.'s website and read a few reviews on here. Feeling pretty prepared I popped the cork...

THE BODY is awesome. Poured into a champagne flute, the color appeared identical to Veuve Clicquot champagne which I was fortunate to enjoy a couple weeks prior--in other words, this looks like fine champagne! Infinium has an absolutely incredible bubbly foam head indicating a super effervescent brew, like a trippel.

THE SMELL is very floral and citrusy, along with some hints of cotton candy, yeast and a bit of sour hops.

THE TASTE is very crisp and tart like a green apple, but mixed with some qualities of a good pilsner. The finish is very dry and yeasty, very much like a trippel. Overall, I will say that Infinium has the skunky, yeasty qualities of a trippel combined with the crisp, tartness of champagne, and the hoppyness of a pilsner. This is an incredible beer!!!

THE FEEL is champagne, straight up. It is slightly heavier, but not by much.

In conclusion, this beer is incredible. It is very drinkable and well balanced in every respect. It feels good from nose to stomach. It is worth the hype and worth the price, so it is sad to me that so many reviewers want to turn up their noses for silly, snobbish reasons, rather than enjoying an amazing beer. This is the highest score I have given to any beer, and the Boston Beer Company has earned it. Infinium, it's been a pleasure!
