Moretti Pilsner

Buona sera! It's time to learn to drink Italian beer, with your host, me. Pretend I am saying everything in a Mario Brothers accent, with a lot of excess vowels at the ends of words. Spicy meatballs may or may not be involved.


Seriously though, the second of the Yard House beers consumed by beer lover and fledgling connoisseur Alex was the Moretti Pilsner, crafted by the Birra Moretti company, which has been around since 1859. Everything has been around longer in Europe, though, so don't let that impress you. Okay, you can be a little impressed.

Unfortunately, the beer itself was not that impressive. It has the typical pilsner taste, smooth and not very hoppy or malty. Other words used to describe it were "plain" and "average"; as pilsners go, this one did not stand out. The best that could be said about it was that it was better than a Heineken. I would also like to note that I got tired of trying to find information about it online so I apologize for the lack of content to this review.

Just the facts, ma'am: Moretti Pilsner, Birra Moretti, Italy, pilsner.
