Peroni Nastro Azzurro

Peroni, a beer or a fashion statement?
Watch the official Peroni TV ad to help you decide.
This beer is something special.The first glass I poured for this review could have easily been mistaken for a glass of champagne had it not been poured into a pilsner glass.The beers colour is probably one of the lightest shades of yellow I have ever seen.It’s taste starts off bitter and dry and then transitions into a slightly fruity aftertaste.There isn’t much of a beer smell other than that given off by the hops.Peroni makes for an easy drinking beer.
Launched in 1964, Peroni Nastro Azzurro is a premium lager that is brewed and bottled in Italy.It is fully imported into Australia and can be found easily at most bottle shops and bars.As you can see from the TV ad above, Peroni is marketed as more than just a beer – it’s an icon.The beer was born out of the same inherent cultural beliefs that were depicted in Federico Fellini’s film La Dolce Vita, which has been recreated in the above TV advertisement.Peroni’s creators were more than happy to pay homage to Fellini’s great film.
La Dolce Vita is an Italian classic and so is this.

As far as I am aware Italy has never been famous for its beer – but maybe the Italians are more ahead of the game than we think, and the rest of us who don’t appreciate it are just buffoons. Frankly . . . when in Rome . . . . .
I like it !!!
Horses for courses . . . .
Not impressed at all. Typical ‘thin-drink-type-beer’ form the Mediterranean.
They should stick to wine.
[...] is no surprise that Peroni Gran Riserva comes from the same brewery as Peroni Nastro Azzurro but does it rate better than its more well-known [...]
