La Rossa (Birra Moretti)

La Rossa is a beer that we first discovered when we went to RPM Italian in Chicago.  I know this isn't a food blog, but if you can spare the money and reserve enough in advance, RPM is definitely worth the money!  They also have a great selection of wines and craft Italian beers, as well as liquors. 

I would say that La Rossa is a dark amber ale.  It's light and very drinkable, however the flavor is bold.  There is also somewhat of a smokiness in the back of the beer, as well as an overall malty flavor.  It's very nice to drink this--I usually look to Italy for their Chiantis and Pinot Grigios, but this beer is definitely very satisfying.

This beer comes in 9 ounce bottles, but the higher alcohol percentage makes up for it, if that's a deal-breaker for you.

7.2% ABV
Rating:  3.5
