Made in Italy with 100% Italian malt, Peroni Cruda is a beer with a soft, creamy consistency and a pleasantly bitter hoppy aftertaste. As an unpasteurized beer, it is constantly kept at low temperatures throughout the production process to preserve all the flavor and freshness of the carefully-selected ingredients.

Had this on tap. Clear amber colour accompanied with hick head. Maintains one finger ring with good lacing. Mostly malt aromas and flavour.Might come off as too sweet for some. Moderate bitterness and carbonation. Good overall.

500ml bottle served in a wine glass. 02/26 is printed on the label. I think I bought it at a Carrefour Express in Rome a few days ago.
Pours clear light yellow with a medium sized head and plenty of carbonation. Smell is skunky lager yeast, maybe something slightly earthy.
Taste is watery, honey sweetness, earthy funk, grain tea, skunky lager yeast.
Mouthfeel is light, thin, again slightly watery. Overall...I've had worse beers, but it's not very good.

Light golden color with a thin head.
Mild aroma with notes of malt sweetness and minerals.
Sweet flavor with notes of grains, malts sweetness and faint earthy and herbal hops. Medium dry aftertaste with a low bitterness.
Light to watery body with appropriate carbonation.
Being non-pasteurized didn’t change much this Adjunct Lager that focus on the malt-grain side with faint herbal and earthy hops. It does not taste bad, just plain.

330ml bottle. Dark gold with a head that quickly disappears. Smells of nothing. Tastes of light malt and some stewed tea hops. Body starts medium/light but becomes watery. Very little carbonation. Pretty dire overall. Not crisp, not flavourful, not particularly refreshing. 5.5€ wasted.

Birra Peroni Industriale S.p.A “Birra Peroni Cruda”
50 cl brown glass bottle marked “Da consumarsi preferibilimente entro la fine / stabilize to: 06/20 PADOVA L9 254 2 20” and sampled on 26/11/2019

Notes via stream of consciousness: Birra Peroni Cruda, I believe, is simply the standard Birra Peroni “non pastorizzata” (unpasteurized) and possibly unfiltered although it’s really quite clear. I highly doubt that it’s unfiltered, and I wonder why it’s having not been pasteurized makes any difference as current standards of operation do nothing to harm the beer. In fact I’ve tasted beers side by side that were pasteurized and unpasteurized from the same batch and found the pasteurized beer to taste better, but OK, as we say here in Italia, va bene.
It’s poured a crystal clear straw gold body beneath a short head of bright white that’s dropped quite readily. Next to no lacing is left behind, and that certainly hurts it on appearance.
Wow, that’s a little weird, even in a brown bottle this seems a little skunked. Of course I don’t know how it was treated prior to purchase, but it was from a grocery store not some side street mom & pop, and the date is fresh. Weird. Beyond that it smells of grainy malt with a little bit of herbal and grassy hops. It’s not a bad aroma by any means, and it’s fairly full, but it’s not that exciting.
The flavor follows the aroma, sans the light skunkiness, and it’s nicely balanced between malt and hop. A median bitterness balances it and it finishes dry with some grassy and spicy hops lingering for a moment. It’s a good beer to pair with a simple meal as there’s enough to it that it can stand up to something like the acidity of tomatoes, and yet it’s not so full that it would overwhelm even a mild fish or egg dish.
In the mouth it’s medium bodied and gently crisp. I’d almost like to see it a bit crisper but it is smoother and more drinkable as it is.
Overall I put this above most of the mainstream, big-hitter golden lagers from around the globe, but not by much.
