Pours a hazy yellow orangish color. Smells pretty pizzaish, straight down to a bit of a cheasy aroma... perhaps my brain filling in the blanks. Pretty scary. Flavor is thinnish lager with wierd tomato thing going on, definite herbs. Yeah, it’s a novelty at best and I dont think this is really going to do much for sprechers image, but worth a try at least once.

Sep 2, 2008 Bottle shared at DLD08. Pours a copper color with a fairly small white head. Aroma is oregano, basil, light tomsto. Flavor is oregano, basil, grains. Palate is medium to light bodied, medium carbonation, finished sweet and spicy. Not my cup of tea. Decent for what it supposed to be, but seems like you would find this at your local gags and games type store, more of a joke.

Aug 29, 2008 About what I expected. That’s pretty much all I have to say. Pretty gross.

Aug 27, 2008 Bottle, shared with Swoopjones, Jerc & Mabel. Well, its pizza beer. Not as offensive as the legendary Garlic Pils - but not really interesting for anything more than a gimmick. Smells & tastes like tomato sauce. Its impressive that they made it taste that way, but I wouldn’t try it again unless I was looking for a laugh.

Aug 25, 2008 Pours a super fizzy golden orange with hints of red. The head is a fluffy off-white and recedes to a ring fairly quickly leaving no lacing. It smells like, well, a pizza, with strong basil and oregano aromas. The taste isn’t exactly like pizza, but pretty darn close. There’s the generic grainy lager taste but with serious pizza flavors of basil, garlic and oregano. The mouthfeel is light to medium and highly carbonated. I have to say that this is one of the more interesting brews I’ve tasted and was pleasantly surprised. It’s definitely the best pizza beer I’ve tasted!

Aug 23, 2008 Bottle purchased at Sam’s in Clybourn.
Appearance is a murky, cloudy orange hue, minimal white head with no lacing.
Smell is pizza-related spices, mostly oregano and garlic, some flowery hops and biscuit malts.
Taste is mostly subtle flavors, pale bread malts with grassy hop tones and those pizza spices, finishes dry.
Mouthfeel is light-bodied, thinned out and watery texture, poor inadequate carbonation.
Drinkability is low, this beer tastes like an unbalanced pale ale with sprinkles of italian/pizza spices, I would consider this to be a primarily novelty beer, I could see no reason to try this again nor would I recommend to any serious beer drinker, this may serve as a caution against replicating non-relevant food flavors in beer.
