4-26-08 bottle
Clearish yellow amber. Smell is pizza dough, oregano and well... pizza. Palate is pale lager and pizza and metallic pepperoni. A hint chalky in the finish. Very carbonated and very thin. Overall, not a great one. It is weird and pizza like - I will give it that but after a day at the Dark Lord release - this was not the highlight of my night.

Thanks facto for bringing this to the Carolina gathering. Pours a clear gold with a white head. The nose was exactly what you would expect, pizza, tomoato, oregano, pizaa all around. the flavor is exactly the same and it is what it is. Very much so pizza and herbs. Don’t know how they did it but its pizza-beer.

Amber color. Smell of Pizza. So weird that I can smell garlic, spice, tomato and malt. Taste is something to get used to. At first you taste the spice and then its like you have had enough of it already. Smell is great!

Bottle shared by mrfacto at the CC gathering. Thanks Matt! Aroma is very pizza-like--oregano, tomatoes, garlic, maybe even some pepperoni! Flavor is a bit of a step down from the aroma, but still pizza. I like pizza and I like beer, but not so much together as one. Still, very happy to sample this.

Bottle shared at the Carolina Crew Gathering at Turd’s – thanks to MrFacto for sharing. Or should we thank him? I don’t know, but this is such a weird, messed up beer. And heaven help me, I actually started to like it a bit. Okay, that’s not entirely true. It looks like an average IPA, has a thin mouthfeel, and I’m ultimately not sure what this really contributes qua beer. But damned if it doesn’t smell like stewed tomatoes, oregano, and basil. An experience.

Bottle. Curiosity got to me here, as when I walk by a car crash. Aroma is dirty and earthy, tomato, oregano, garlic, basil and a light sweet citrus. Pale orange pour with frothy beige head. Sticky, lightly tart, lightly bitter and bready taste is a bit rough, a bit crusty, overspiced with both a weak malt base and uninteresting bg hops. Light body, chalky after. I could see basil being used as an ingredient more often, based on this, especially in some off-kilter saisons, but otherwise ugh. Not unpleasant, as expected, and not even liquid pizza, as others here are claiming, but nothing worth buying twice or even finishing - a three ounce novelty.

16oz bottle-A slightly hazy very carbonated body with a small ring for a head. Aroma of pizza sauce. Taste of oregano, basil, slight hops, and slight tomato. This medium bodied brew is a little bitter as well. I wish I tried the original. A different tasting brew.

This was suprisingly very good. As far as flavored and fruit beers are concerned this one is particularly tasty and interesting. The scent smells (I kid you not) like very good pizza sauce. The taste is slightly less intense, but never the less there are without a doubt, some very spicy flavors of oragano and basil. The tomato flavor is subdued but plesant. On top of all of this there is a good light hop bitterness at the back of the tongue. The beer pours with a small head and is slightly cloudy and light orange.
