Cusqueña Dorada is the most appreciated beer in Peru. Its exquisite flavor and intense golden color are obtained due to a special production process with triple filtering. The distinctive flavor and aroma are achieved using 100% selected barley malt in combination with the finest aromatic hops. The dedication with which it is made is reflected in its perfectly wrought bottle and a label inspired by the mysticism of Machu Picchu, one of the wonders of the world.

In one Peruvian restaurant, at Sevilla, av Kansas city. A beer that the quality went down. It will be my last time to drink it, even a cruzcampo especial is better. This one is not pleasant at the palate, articial, metalic, sweet, few hop, beurk, 03.08.21

Probably the best of Peru’s pale lagers, it’s got a slight grainy nose, a cool bottle too, with the incan stonework and such. So there’s that.

Pour is more of a clear honey with a large white head. Aroma is beer. Some sweet grain malt. Flavor is a bland generic malt. No bitterness or hops. Just Ok.

Bottle. Had this one on a trip to Myrtle Beach. Just an average Latin American beer. Same as Cuzco, with a different name. Was really good on the beach though. It was ice good and watery and it was good on a hot day.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per l'orzo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma non molto persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido appare cristallino. Il colore è giallo ambrato. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è poco incisivo. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Sul palato si attestano indizi di miele, cereali, carta ed erba.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Clear golden coloured Peruvian lager, well balanced slightly sweet taste with some hints of (try to find it) caramel. An proper Latin-American brew much much better than Corona.
