Costa Ricans have been enjoying this beer since 1924. Imperial is created from a balanced formula combining malts, grains and hops, without a pronounced overtone in its taste. It is what is known as a “centralized” beer. Adapted to a warm and spring-like climate, Imperial is Florida’s most popular and widely accepted beer, both nationally and internationally, and has thus become the favorite beer of Costa Rica.

Docked in Puntarenus, Costa Rica on 29th March 2014: Imperial seemed to be the most popular beer on the tables of the corner bar we wandered into after taking in the craft market stalls set up for us. 350ml bottle, asked for glasses. Usual lager look, golden, bright and clean: usual almost odourless lager: typical thirst quenching lager with very little actual taste. Crisp enough but nothing special about it in the huge lager market out there.

"The beer is clear golden in colour with a fast disappearing head, but still decently carbonated. The taste is short with a malty start and a more sweet finish. Watery and very little aftertaste. Definitely not as good as I remember it." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com

Pale in the glass, watery in the beginning. The beer taste like a typical Pale Lager. A bit watery, slightly sweet, nice balance between sweetness and grains, very slightly bitter till the end.
A nice and thirst-quenching brew. --> 7/12/8/7

Can. A clear, pale golden beer topped by a small, white head. The aroma is very grainy, with some cooked vegetables and a faint fruityness. The flavor has the same grainy and cooked vegetable touch, almost none bitterness. Thin on the palate, pretty dry, and with a decent carbonation. Sure a boring one, but it’s not awful in a way. 140301
