Samuel Adams - 2011 Infinium Ale

Wandering through my local packy this weekend I stumbled upon a new (to me) offering from Sam Adams.

Apparently a bunch of their brewers spent the last two years working with the worlds oldest brewery, Weihenstephan, to create a new category of beer. According to their packaging they have created a "Champagne-like beer with fine bubbles and a fruity, spicy aroma. It's light malt character is balance by the Noble hops that impart a soft citrus and floral flavor."

So what should you expect?

So generally speaking I don't like rum.

I probably had one too many "capt'n and cokes" in college or something and I'm not giving rum a fair shake; but when I think rum, I think, "daiquir", I think "punch", I think "sweet monstrosity", and mostly I think "headache".

On the recommendation of Geoff I'm working my way through a bottle of Pusser's rum and it's Okay. This summer Sioux and I went on a caprihina jag fueled by a bottle of Beleza de Minas Cachaça,but frankly that's in a whole other category. Mostly, I just don't like rum.

That was of course until I was introduced to Ron Zacapa.
