A perfectly constructed beer.

No mention of Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier? Perfectly composed, THE benchmark for the style. Refreshing, satisfying...what else can I say?

 

Fou Foune, Double Sunshine, BCBS Vanilla Rye are as close to perfect as i have tried.

 

You should PM the 1873 people who rated it a perfect 5/5 to let them know!

 

That Mektoberfest, that's easily one of my favorite Oktoberfest beers. Couldn't really think of anything they could do better with it.

 

Wouldn't the "perfectness" of Orval depend on how/how long it was stored, due to the Brett? Or do you mean it is perfect due to or in spite of all the possible outcomes?

 

Celebration Ale

 

And it's affordable! Love the stuff.

 

Maine Beer Company's MO. This beer is perfectly balanced of both Malts and a Great Tropical Hop profile. Not bitter, very clean and just enjoyable.

 

I hear hopslam will be in cans this year! that is my perfect beer.should be soon

 

I really don't mean to be a party-pooper; I am asking an earnest question here, but is there a difference for most people between their "favorite" beer and their most "perfectly constructed" beer? I mean, if you're asking us to list a beer that didn't have any flaws and has no room for improvement, wouldn't that be your favorite beer (which is what it seems most people are listing)? And if so, isn't this thread totally redundant to every other of the tons of "favorite beer" threads that have ever been started?

Or am I and many other people here getting the wrong impression, and you really are distinguishing between favorite and objectively best beer? In which case, I'm not particularly in love with Fat Tire, Bass, Old Rasputin, DFH 60 Min, Two Roads Ol' Factory Pils, Poor Richard's Tavern Spruce, Stone's Chai-Spiced IRS, and so on, but I would call them all good/very good beers that are perfectly made and have no need for improvement, despite them not being my favorite beers ever.

 

Admittedly a bit of a Founders homer, but:
KBS
Backwoods Bastard
Rodenbach Grand Cru

Edit: For @jmasher85 I'm trying to stick with the OP's question. I happen to love all three of those. Harder for me to appreciate great beers I really don't like. As an example: Dortmunder Gold.

 

I have had a number of great great beers but if it is perfectly crafted you ask to me - this is the top:

 

I've never had a beer that is impossible to improve, but my highest score goes to FBS.

 

Sosus

 

I'd have to agree - went for lunch the other day at a local taproom, scanned their list and had to have the FBS when I spotted it. Disappointing it is seasonal, though I suppose it makes it more appreciated.

 

Weinhenstephaner Hefe

 

Victory Helles and Prima Pils.

 

Head Hunter. And maybe JuJu.

 

if I could try sip of sunshine, that, for me, may be my best. maybe i'll never know.
