Brewed by Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan.
Amber-orange color, a lot of faom, creamy. Very fizzy.
Malt and honey in the smell, along with peach, raisins, pineapple, figs perhaps.
In the mouth againmalt, but with fizzy effects of dried flowers from the strong carbonation. Fresh flowery and fruity notes.
Champagne beer, better in the mouth than at the nose.
Inthe aftertaste some pear, and an interesting yeast note, quite long.
The alcohol is absolutely well hidden.

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.
