Commercial Description:
Chiara Originale è la primogenita del Birrificio Angelo Poretti. Ancora oggi nasce dalla stessa ricetta seguita per la produzione della prima “cotta” nel 1877. Chiara Originale è una lager a bassa fermentazione di corpo leggero (alc. 5% vol.), di aspetto limpido e di colore paglierino. Si distingue per la spiccata armonia del gusto, con note aromatiche fruttate che ne addolciscono il gusto moderatamente amaro. È ideale nell’abbinamento con tutti i sapori della tradizione mediterranea, in particolare con la pizza o con una pastasciutta condita con un buon sugo di pomodoro. Se ne consiglia la degustazione anche con un caprino fresco al carbone vegetale, tipico delle valli varesine.<br /><br />Formerly known as Poretti Premium.

Bottle. Light gold with a small head. Aromas are butter with grain and hints of skunkiness. Flavours are grain and sweetcorn with some citrus notes. Some sourness with metal soap and biscuit. Refreshing and not bad.

Pours light golden with a mostly receding white head. Aroma of grainy malt, bready, and unclean. Taste is sweat malty, biscuit, cracker, and herbal malts. Mouthfeel is light/medium bodied with moderate carbonation. More character, please.

Appetising sweet hop aroma. Clean, crisp and malty. A surprisingly dry finish leaning towards the Pilsener style. Fairly typical of the Italian beers I’ve sampled. Uncomplicated but tastily refreshing.

On tap at Vintners, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. Light gold, virtually no aroma. Thin, tasteless and fizzy but has a surprising late dryness.

Dry taste and golden appearance.Some slight maltiness but no distinctive taste. Quite pleasant on a warm summers night which is when I tried it. Thats about the best you can say.

I was in a bar in Covent Gardens and there wasn’t a lot of choice available anyhow this was another rate at the least and it turned out to be not my worst Italian lager. A little lemony, sweet but not sickly sweet.

Bottle at The Huntsman pub. Part of a World Cup "World Lager Stars" promotion. Buy eight different bottled lagers and get a T-shirt. Price of the bottle was £2.75 for 300ml. I just bought eight cans of lager from my local corner shop for £5. That’s 1.25p a litre, compared to £9.16 a litre for this Italian nonsense. I think that’s working out to be a very expensive "free" T-shirt. And the beer is very grim. Malt is blurry and starchy, and the faint hops are dull and indistinguished. This is low quality of the lowest order. Dismal. Just about drinkable.
