Raffo Lavorazione Grezza

Birra Peroni
Tap to rate
🌍 Italy · Pale Lager · One of 62 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

The second Raffo, introduced in 2024: an unfiltered lager brewed with unrefined Apulian grains, durum wheat and barley, alongside barley malt and maize. Bottom-fermented and cold-matured, it is golden with a light haze. The nose is malty, with cereal and soft bread; the palate is round and fresh, with a light grainy sweetness, and herbal hop notes bring a gentle bitterness to the finish.
