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.

Bottle: (as Golden Lager, but bar code matches this one) Clear, deep gold with a small, off-white head. Sweet corn, barley aroma. Sweet and mild....grain and corn malts. Actually, quite good.....nothing off, no skunk, no harshness. Points also for the very cool molded stone pattern in the bottle’s glass. Enjoyable.

(Bottle, Giraffe, London Heathrow Terminal 5, 24 April 2016) Golden colour with dense, white head. Malty nose with bread, grain and hay. Malty, slightly sweetish taste with notes of bread, grain, hay and a low bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. No evident faults, but generic and quite boring. Drinkable but unnecessary.

Bottle at Caracas, 4/16/16.
Pale golden, very light, filtered, force carbed, etc....small white head.
Smells nowhere near as offensive as some of the bigger offenders (bud lite, coors, icehouse, things like that). Cereal notes, wax, seltzer, light bready notes.
Very spritzy, bready, with stale cereal notes, saltwater, wax and a light bitterness on the finish that helps ameliorate some of the macro qualities. Not great, but passable if you’re low on options in Peru, I’m sure.

Thi is everywhere in Peru. Yellow lager. Nothing revolutionary here but for it is solid. All maltI believe, lightly sweet. Oalate is not thin, but this is refreshing.
Earlier Rating: 8/11/2007 Total Score: 2.7
A very good pale lager. Definitely crisp. Sweet and salty. Yellow appearance and drinkable in hot weather.

Ubiquitous in Lima, 12oz bottles, pissy gold with some fading head. Nose is lesser than other developing world lagers, metal, lemon candies, stale bread. Flavor has more stale bread, straw, soggy biscuit. Finishes watery.
