Going out to dinner, how about Italian. But not some cheesy pizza joint, we are going some place fancy, like with “Roma” or “Garden” in the name. Classy. I usually order spaghetti with mushrooms because I am such a fun guy. The waiter asks you what type of wine you would like with your dinner, but you don’t have a clue so you ask him what he would suggest. He holds his thumb over the price and points to a wine and suggests this is the perfect wine for your meal even though you haven’t ordered any food yet. Then you find out you just paid $80 for a warm red drink. As my old buddy JT would say, time to flip the script . Order a beer. “Una birra per favore.” But not just any beer, a nice Italian beer. You know what they say “When in Roma, do what the Romas would do.” If it is a real Italian restaurant they should have Peroni in bottle or even better on tap.
I pour my Peroni like a pro. Nice light golden glow (the beer, not me yet) with the head screwed on just right. Light malt a(roma), very light. It has a nice light malt base, an easy drinking lager. No hops, bitters or aftertaste. I thought I caught a bit of graininess in there somewhere but way in the background.
Good basic refreshing light lager.
