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.

Bottled, 0.35l. Clear pale golden color with thin frothy white head and average visible carbonation. Aroma of grassy hops, hay and mild malt. Taste starts with mild malt and followed by light citrus notes. Mouthfeel is dry, while aftertaste is very mildly bitter with spicy undertones. Light body, thin texture and average carbonation in palate. Nothing much imperial at it, just a thirst killer...

(Bottle) Clear pale amber with no head. Aroma has citrus, vegetables and som skunkiness. Light bodied and fizzy. Flavour has some initial refreshing citrus notes, but s followed by grain / cereal and hints of something industrial like rubber. Overall it’s not good, but it is drinkable.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the new Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks troubles. Clear yellow. Aroma of DMS, a bit of hay, a bit of malt and faint hoppy hints. Sweetish and grainy flavor with a slightly drier finish. Light-bodied and watery. Pretty clean.
