So I'm walking through the beer store last night, and suddenly a salesman, who presumably could tell I was already 3 beers in on an empty stomach, holds out a bottle and says "hey, have you tried the Pizza Beer yet?" In my mild stupor, I read "Oregano, Basil, Tomato, Garlic" on the bottle, and say "no, but I've gotta try it now!" A few minutes later, understanding that he's found a gullible mark, he comes by again and asks if I want the last autographed(!!) bottle too. "Uh, no, thanks, but I'll save that one for a
true pizza beer aficionado."
So as vile as you might imagine that a Pizza Beer could be, it was at least three times that bad. Simply getting past the acidic vomit-odor as you raise the glass to your mouth is an enormous challenge. Then once you actually get it in your mouth, yes, it does in fact taste just like pizza. Really bad pizza, that's been soaked in beer. Holy shit. Only through herculean and idiotic effort, and much gagging and facial contortion, were three of us able to finish off the 16oz bottle. Highly recommended!!
