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.

Shared 640ml bottle. Poured copper coloured and completely flat. Slightly sweet, nothing much else to note. May be a bad bottle but really this wasn’t good

From a 33 cl bottle in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Pours a clear gold with a thick white head. Aroma of white bread. Flavors of sweet malts. Smooth finish.

From a 33 cl bottle at a Peruvian restaurant in Lima -- the only beer choice on the menu. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Standard pale lager aromas and taste. Meh.

Pours a clear golden color, topped with an average white head. Malty aroma, slightly grainy and little bit skunky - not much there. Taste is sweet, followed by what is a dissastrous body. No bitterness, very sweet and just no... One of the worst ones.

Clear golden colour, average size white head; aroma of maltyness with some vegetables; taste is the same with minimal hoppy bitterness - drinkable

My mom brought this one back from a trip to Peru. +++ sampled from a 330 ml brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden color with a small foamy white head that faded and left minimal lacing. The aroma was malty, sweet, tangy, corny and had a bit of citrus. The flavor was sweet and tangy sugar, corn, a bit of yeast, citrus and a hint of sour mash. Medium length finish. Medium body. Basic macro lager style.

Pours dark golden with a white head. Aroma is sugar and a hint of grain. Taste is kind of sweet. No hops. Some grain. Not terrible. Better than Cristal, probably.

Bottle from Sainsbury's. Pours gold with a small head. Grainy taste. Overall it's just another pale lager. But at least it's a tick for Peru!

33cl bottle thanks to Lynn. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - sweet malt and nuts. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and unfortunately quite a sweet finish. Overall - if a session strength lager doesn’t refresh what is the point?

Decent lager, slightly sweeter than most and I think it’d be ever so slightly sickly if you had a few. Slightly metallic aftertaste.
