Peroni Nastro Azzurro

Poured into my czech pilsner glass, Peroni is a yellow-golden brew with lively carbonation bubbles, and a slim head that recedes to a very modest rim.

The smell of a pilsner is very upfront, with sharp, grassy tones, coupled with toasted notes of barley & hops.

The taste is very mild.  Comparable to a friendlier Moosehead Lager.  Hardly any astringency to mention.  A clean body, a touch of hops, and a reserved degree of malts.  Actually a bit on the sweet side.

Carbonation is a little much in this brew.  Veering toward pop territory, but not terrible.

Certainly a solid beer.  Definitely sessionable, but that's all.  If you are in the mood for a night cap, I recommend you grab a different beer from the fridge, but I can't say that it would be a bad idea to keep this one around.  It just might go well with pizza.
