Peroni 0.0 Review – Is This the Best Alcohol-Free Lager?

There are some beers you never overthink.
Peroni was always one of those for me!

Cold bottle. Warm day. Pizza on the way. Someone opens the fridge and hands you one without asking. When I stopped drinking alcohol, that exact moment was one I quietly assumed was gone.

So when I finally spent real time with Peroni 0.0 from Peroni, I wasn’t looking for a miracle. I just wanted to know if it could still feel like Peroni.

First impressions of Peroni 0.0 in the glass

The pour immediately put me at ease.

Pale gold, bright, lively bubbles. It looks right. And honestly, that matters more than people admit. The visual cue does a lot of emotional work before you even taste anything.

Then I smelled it.

Clean. Light malt. A gentle bitterness. Fresh.
No sugary hit. No artificial edge. No instant reminder that this is alcohol-free.

That moment alone gave me confidence.

How Peroni 0.0 actually tastes

First sip… and yeah, I smiled.

It’s crisp. Properly crisp.
Dry enough to refresh you. Bitter enough to feel like a lager. And the finish stays clean, which is huge. That’s usually where alcohol-free lagers lose me.

I kept drinking, half expecting the flavour to fade or turn thin.

It didn’t.

Is it identical to the original? No.
But after a few sips, I stopped comparing. I wasn’t analysing anymore. I was just drinking a cold lager and enjoying it.

That shift matters.

How I like to drink Peroni 0.0

This isn’t a beer I dress up.

Straight from the fridge. Ice cold. Bottle or a simple glass. That’s it.

With food is where it really shines for me. Pizza especially. The dryness cuts through the salt and cheese perfectly. It doesn’t dominate, it doesn’t disappear. It just does what a Peroni is supposed to do.

Easy. Familiar. Reliable.

Who Peroni 0.0 is really for

Peroni 0.0 makes the most sense if you:

• Love light, crisp lagers
• Miss those no-thinking beer moments
• Are cutting back on alcohol but still want something familiar
• Want a beer that works naturally with food and social settings

If you’re chasing bold hops or experimental flavours, this probably isn’t your thing. But that was never Peroni’s job in the first place.

Is Peroni 0.0 worth it?

Alcohol-free beer pricing can be frustrating. This one feels fair! $54.99/24-Pack and I saw it on sale a few times at $45.99.. less than $2/can!

You’re paying for consistency and familiarity. It’s not trying to justify itself with clever branding or a big innovation story. It just quietly delivers what you expect.

And that’s something I really value.

Final thoughts

What surprised me most about Peroni 0.0 wasn’t the flavour.
It was how normal it felt.

After a few minutes, I wasn’t thinking about what was missing. I was just enjoying a cold lager, some food, and the moment I was in.

That’s why this lands at an 8.5 out of 10 for me.

Not because it’s perfect.
But because it brings something familiar back without making a fuss about it.

If you’re looking for an alcohol-free lager that fits into everyday life without effort, this one genuinely delivers.
