The ultimate Italian lager since 1859, Birra Moretti’s special blend of high quality hops creates a smooth, full bodied beer with wholemeal bread top notes which are cut by a delicate citrus note.

Tasting Notes: It is a bottom fermented beer with a golden colour. This colouring is a result of the type of malt used in brewing. Its alcohol content is 4.6% alcohol by volume. It is not a strong beer and is therefore perfect for drinking at lunch, at dinner or for evenings out with friends

This beer is simply brewed but very well executed. It has a plethora of playful characteristics that combine the best of both worlds when it comes to ales and lagers.

Tasting Notes: Pale amber colour with good foam Aroma: diacetyl and fruits. Taste: A little caramel and earthy hops.

John Smith’s Extra Smooth was launched in 1993 and is now the nation's number 1 ale.
