Peroni Nastro Azzurro

Peroni Nastro AzzurroBeer-a-Day #119

This must be the week for pale European lagers in green bottles. I guess I like to live dangerously.

Pale, pale yellow, with a white head. Alfalfa, burnt toast, and…lightstruck. *sigh* Light but malty. Would be refreshing but for that glaring flaw.

I’m afraid that this is developing into a Pavlovian response; that every time I open a green beer bottle I’m going to smell skunk, whether it’s really there or not.

Maybe I’ll get to Italy someday.

One thought on “Peroni Nastro Azzurro

  1. I’ve had it in Italy, and it does seem much better and much more reliably non-skunked. Tough to find bottles that aren’t light struck here in the States, as least in my experience. Not sure it’s worth the airfare, though… Italy is, but not the beer :)
