Peroni Gran Reserva

The second beer I have had the delight of drinking this year is Peroni Gran Reserva (6.6 % abv) from the SABMiller corporation’s Peroni brand.
The beer is a big malty beer in the style of a traditional german bock, with a firm bitterness and a touch of hops on the nose. Being bold I would say that the hops are Saaz. The beer is a big improvement on Peroni’s other main offering “Nastro Azzuro” which is nothing more really that euro mega swill.
I enjoyed this beer but suggest that it’s a beer for special occations and a bit too hardcore for a session beer. Check this one out and let me know what you think.
