Peroni

My adoration of this tiny Italian beer started last summer, on a hot summer day cliché, sipping one in front of Carrefour, in the car, after an overwhelming thirst. I don’t know if it’s just the context, or this is really a good beer, but the savor feels like nothing else on the market right now.

The taste is very fresh and malty and invades you with a crispy beerish-bitter flavor in the beginning, only to mold in a sweetened aftertaste that feels much better than the usual sordid taste that beers usually leave behind. It’s not very fizzled, possibly a little flat, not very tasteful, which is a feature that I like, a sort of smoothness and dryness providing nice change from very flavored beers on the market. It’s just what you need when you’re really really thirsty, but don’t actually feel like drinking tap water either. Every beer, if consumed immediately after Peroni, tastes like shit to me.

I’m having Peroni when I’m movie editing later in the night, and it’s quite a refreshing way to put an end to a day.
