Inspired by pizza and pop parties, Beer for Pizza features sweet crystal malts, Belgian dark candi syrup, and vanilla balanced with acidity from lime juice and citric acid. The flavor addition is inspired by the secret “Seven X” blend of citrus, cinnamon, and nutmeg for a juicy, yet spicy/sweet botanical kick. Kola provides a slight caffeine boost while a crisp carbonation enhances the mouthfeel.
SECRET INGREDIENT
Caffeine (and the name) of Cola was originally provided by the kola nut, native to the rainforests of Africa. This caffeine rich nut was chewed as a pick me up and was a common ingredient in old-timey tonics including a now world famous tonic that included extract from the coca plant. Kola nuts are no longer used in modern colas and instead are replaced with caffeine extract, but Beer for Pizza uses the kola nut as its source for a mild caffeine kick

Can at BGH: pours a look like cola with huge head. Aroma is light citrus, cola, general spice. Taste is like a citrusy coke/kvass hybrid. Not in a great way.

Pint can from Toski-Sands Market, 7/14/21. Caffeine in this? Shit. Clear dark brown, thin fizzy tan head, good retention. Aroma of cola and spice. Some caramel. Taste is caramel, soy, ginger, citrus. Lingering spice. Gimmick. Meh.

Can from Brewer’s Haven. If I’d have been a bit more diligent I probably wouldn’t have bought this, but wtf sometimes I just grab stuff. It really does look like cola with just a thin beige ring. Fairly mild nose of malts, kinda lemony, and some spice. Tastes nondescript. Really there is nothing that stands out, but it does seem like it could be cola. A little sweet and a little earthy spice. I did have this with pizza, and it was okay, but next time I’d pass on this one. Feb 2021
