Bottle, 330 ml at Chull's, Cusco. Dark amber with off-whit head. Caramel, some sugar, fruity notes, spicy, quite bland. Not that easy to drink.

Taster at 7 Vidas Taproom, Arequipa. Lightly cloudy, copper colored. AROMA- plum, cherry, pineapple, cinnamon, clove. FLAVOR- neutral to dry, lightly bitter, the same as aroma. Medium bodied. Tasty.

Deep purple coloured body with a relatively large three to four centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of very sweet corn and caster sugar notes with a lot of grassy and herbal notes with a tiny bit of biscuity malts and even some yeast/bread here in the nose as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong wheatie and yeastie notes dominate with a lot of corn flavours of course and a good deal of residual sugars and a bite from bread at the very end, but no hops or bitterness to balance out the richness from the sugars. Aftertaste shows the perfumey and grainy notes with the corn and sugars right behind with a slight creamy note and a dry, grassy note at the end, but the sweetness is pervasive. Overall, a decent beer with a lot of perfume and grassy notes, but the corn, extra sweetness from honey and caster sugar and the creaminess make this robust and a bit cloying. I sampled this 33 cL bottle, purchased from Wong [grocery store] in Miraflores, Lima, Peru on 03-August-2022 for S./9,89, with a 'best by' date (F.V.) of 27-May-2023 and sampled in my hotel room here with my wife and three kids in Miraflores, Lima, Peru on 04-August-2022.
