What a name for a beer... going to the extremes also in the taste... I dont thionk I ever had a beer that tasted like this.. well here goes. Pours a blurry brown/orange body with a golden white head. The nose is a bit sour but with clear notes of freshly cutted meat and peeled tomatoes from a tin-can. The taste miss Bloody Mary meets mr. Malt - I taste peppercorns, tomatoesWorchester (english-souce), cloves and some pickle. - I would have loved if the taste had been even more extreme. The palate was fantastic and very aromatic and seasoned and tickeling on your tounge.

Bottle shared by eclectic at BCTC. Thanks Kevin! Nose is oregano, tomatoes, pepper, dill, and malt. Flavor had a lot pepper, more oregano, tomatoes, and hops. As similar as this was to the Mama Mia Pizza beer in terms of ingredients, this was much better put together and I actually enjoyed it. Not sure how much I could drink at a time, but definitely a worthy craft beer.

Quite a unique brew here. Thanks a bunch to Derek! Lots of tomatoes and pepper in the aroma. I get a lot of dill on the pallate. They really did nail the bloody mary taste, as its fairly close. All the Roma’s dont overpower the beer, which is nice. It did get to be a bit overwhelming towards the end of the bottle, but overall, it works.
