What to expect when tasting Birra Roma Chiara is the perfect balance of speciality malts creating a medium body and sweet malty flavours with old-world noble hops for a clean refreshing bitterness with spicy and earthy undertones.
Unlike standard Italian lagers which can be quite low in flavour and high in carbonation, Birra Roma Chiara is created to have more flavour and less carbonation, enhancing the overall consumer experience in beer and food pairing. It is sweet enough to not shy away from full flavours and bitter enough to cut through fats and oils to cleanse the palate – a similar relationship to high tannic red wines. Lower carbonation levels ensure that Birra Roma Chiara does not overpower your chosen dish and that all the flavours blend seamlessly without filling you up.

A beer expert review.
Ed Hughes is a leading beer sommelier with a wealth of experience in the beer industry. His mission is to dispel the myths of beer drinking and bring beer to the dining table alongside the finest ingredients. We asked him to review Birra Roma Chiara.
“This is a classic pilsner. This is Andrea paying homage to the most important beer style in history, the old-world style pilsner. You can see by the colour, there’s a lovely golden hue which imparts sweetness and those biscuity beer flavours. But because this is an old world pilsner it’s got a decent bitterness – people are hyper sensitive to bitterness on the side and back of their palate which is why this beer goes so well with food because it cleanses the palate every time you take a mouthful; but it’s super versatile meaning it can go with lots of different foods… whether it’s salty, whether there’s rich flavours or even a delicate fish dish - this beer won’t overpower or be too intense to pair with the dish.”
