Wk2: Infinium

The Boston Beer Company has created an interesting beer called Infinium.  They say, "A groundbreaking brew, made with only the four traditional ingredients: malted barley, hops, water and yeast, Infinium™ is a crisp champagne-like beer with fine bubbles and a fruity, spicy aroma." 

Yes, a sparkling beer!  Not the chanpagne of beers, but a bubbly, comes-in-a-wine-bottle, beer.  Before I say if it was any good I do think I can recreate the taste at a fraction of the price.  Combine an IPA, cheap sparkling wine, and a wheat beer.  It was kind of odd drinking a beer like that; your mind says champagne, but you taste buds say watery IPA.  I think the best way to drink it is to hold it in you mouth for a second so you can taste all the flavors.  It is definitley a sipping drink.  It feels like champagne, but the flavor is distinctly beer.  I wouldn't drink it during the big game or on NYE.  The cashier at BevMo said that some people can taste banana bread and I would say it is just as refreshing.  While it wasn't bad, I'll drink sparkling wine when I want champagne and I'll drink a hefe when I want a beer.
