The Story: Born as a heartfelt love letter to the adventurous spirit and romance of life abroad, Roma! was brewed to capture the effortless magic of European leisure. The brewing team at Mighty Squirrel wanted to encapsulate those unforgettable moments where casual lunches stretch into long, sun-drenched afternoons and a spontaneous scooter ride sparks the sudden thought, "Should we move here?" To achieve this, they crafted a beautiful, traditional European-style lager base and gave it the signature Italian Pilsner treatment: a careful, delicate dry-hopping process with noble hops that maximizes floral aromatics without adding any heavy, aggressive bitterness.
Why You'll Love Me: It is a brilliantly crisp, incredibly refreshing lager that perfectly balances traditional old-world drinkability with vibrant, modern aromatics. It pours a crystal-clear, radiant golden-yellow in the glass beneath a persistent, snowy white head. The nose is a beautiful, floral bouquet that immediately draws you in with bright, clean aromas of fresh lemongrass and zesty citrus. On the palate, it delivers a light, crackery malt backbone that remains completely dry and highly carbonated. An elegant thread of lively citrus zest and a unique, earthy touch of soft sage cut beautifully through the sip, coasting into a snappy, clean, and refreshingly dry finish that immediately demands another taste.
