Peroni 0.0% Beer – 6 x – 330ml
Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0 is a carefully crafted non-alcoholic beer created by de-alcoholising the base beer of Nastro Azzurro. The result is a drink that preserves the classic character and refreshment of the original, while delivering a fully non-alcoholic experience suitable for any time of day. The beer is balanced and approachable, with the familiar clean finish that has made Nastro Azzurro a staple for many beer lovers who seek a lighter option without compromising on taste. The beer uses all the ingredients of the original, including the famous “Nostrano dell’Isola” maize. This distinctive maize, grown on the island, contributes to a subtle corn sweetness that harmonises with the malt and hop profiles. The method of alcohol removal used by the brewer is not publicly detailed, but it’s likely to be cool vacuum distillation, a technique that aims to preserve delicate flavours and aromas while removing the alcohol. The result is a well-rounded beer that retains depth and character rather than tasting flat or overly sweet. Peroni 0.0 is a noticeably better drink than its predecessor, Peroni Libera, offering a more refined bitterness and a richer overall palate. It sits on the palate with a gentler, more complex hop character and a clean, persistent finish. The beer is more bitter than standard strength Peroni, with a pleasant hop-forward aftertaste that lingers nicely, making it satisfying and versatile for a range of drinking contexts—from a casual session to a pairing with light dishes. Its approachable aroma, balanced body, and crisp carbonation make Peroni 0.0 a contemporary, non-alcoholic option that does not compromise on style or flavour.

Corona Extra Mexican Pale Lager – 12 bottles
Clear pale yellow in color, with no head, no noticeable retention, and no lacing on the glass. The beer shows minimal to no carbonation within the bottle or glass, and a skunky lager aroma dominates the nose. There is a heavy, overpowering corn-filled aroma that overwhelms any other potential complexity, and it is so off-putting that it significantly detracts from the drinking experience. The scent reminds me of stale adjuncts and a lack of malt character, producing an unpleasant first impression. On the palate, the beer remains flat and lifeless, offering little fizz or sparkle to lift the flavors. The muted body contributes to a thin mouthfeel, making the overall experience feel even more inelegant. The dominant corn character persists, with a harsh, almost metallic edge that clashes with any faint malt notes that might appear. The taste is consistently one-note, lacking balance, depth, or any redeeming qualities that could redeem the drink. To salvage the experience, I resorted to adding a slice of lime, which did provide a modest improvement by imparting a hint of brightness and citrusy acidity. Even with the lime, the beer remains far from satisfying. In summary, this is a pale lager with negative attributes: pale color without head, flat carbonation, a skunky, corn-forward aroma, and a disappointing overall profile that benefits only marginally from citrus adjustment.

Brother Thelonious Belgian-Style Abbey Ale – 4 bottles
Like a Belgian Dark Strong Ale, this beer presents a deep, heady richness from its dark malt backbone, offering a velvet robe of roasted and caramel notes that intertwine with hints of dark fruit, plum, raisin, and a whisper of molasses. The aroma greets with a complex bouquet: toasty undertones, fudge and cocoa, a kiss of burnt sugar, and a subtle wine-like fruitiness from gentle fermentation. On the palate, the beer feels full and substantial, yet surprisingly balanced, with a smooth, creamy texture that coats the mouth and glides into a warming finish. Toasty malts mingle with distant coffee and dark chocolate accents, while ripe plum and fig flavors provide a lingering sweetness that is kept in check by a restrained bitterness and a touch of spice. Alcohol is present but integrated, lending structure and depth rather than shouting for attention. The body is medium to full, with a gentle effervescence that lifts the flavors without ever making the beer feel thin. Age can mellow the sharper edges, revealing richer caramelized sugar notes and a smoother, more harmonious fruit character. This beer is ideal for cool, contemplative sipping, and it pairs well with blue cheeses, roasted meats, or a rich chocolate dessert. Bottled with a traditional cork and wire finish, it invites careful pouring and careful appreciation of its nuanced profile.
