Nastro Azzurro 0.0 by Peroni is a nonalcoholic beer that aims to capture the essence of a traditional European lager, and it does, for better and worse.
Packaging
The packaging is a dead ringer for the classic Peroni, proudly displaying its 0.0% ABV. It’s sleek, inviting, and looks like the real deal—just what you want to kick back with.
Look
In the glass, it mirrors that pale euro lager vibe perfectly. You’ve got the light golden hue and a thin, quickly dissipating head—essentially checking all the boxes for a traditional lager.
Smell
Now, here’s a pleasant surprise: the aroma is surprisingly robust. There’s a solid kick of hops and a crisp lager scent that’s reminiscent of summer days and backyard BBQs.
Mouthfeel
However, the mouthfeel is a bit overcarbonated, leaving it feeling overly light-bodied—almost like it’s trying too hard to be refreshing without any substance.
Taste
When it comes to taste, the vibrant hops from the aroma sadly take a backseat. What remains is a fairly average-tasting pale yellow beer, lacking the excitement you might hope for.
Final Verdict
In the end, it’s… fine. Nastro Azzurro 0.0 checks the box for an acceptable, if unremarkable, European lager—great if you’re in the mood for something easy-drinking, but not much more.
