Let’s talk about 🍺. What I call a good wheat beer is 210 calories for a 12 oz can or bottle. I know it has sugar of some kind.
I got one out of the frig and it was mostly frozen. What dribbled out of the can is very shiny and sticky all over the driveway and garage floor.
Can a chemist explain how that sugar taste different in beer.. than say a soda (because nearly all soda would have less than 210 calories.)

Not a chemist, but the ELI5 as well as I can explain is there are sugar added early in the brewing process, in the wort. Then some yeast is added to the wort. They eat up the sugar and release carbon dioxide and alcohol. That is how beer gets the bubbles and booze in it.
