A classical and boring lager, in the north of Lima, it is really hard to find another beer than this one and Cristal, 27.12.17, at Collique, Comas. Drinking it at some opportunities in Peru because you don't have another option, not a grand cru, definitely.

305ml (lol) bottle from D&S Getränke, Dresden, lagered in my Prague, Czechia fridge and shared in Zagreb, Croatia with Hrabren, as the beer simply needed to travel some more! Consumir ates 21/AGO/2025... oops. Well, at least I got a discount on 1/3 expired beers I got there. Huh... slightly skunky, bit oxidized, vaguely herbal aroma, got that sakeish tropical lager vibe too. Smoothish sweetish malty taste, more of that saké malty vibe. Drinkable, vaguest of herbal hoppy touches, no bitterness to speak of. I got what I expected I'd get... But hey, at least no need to try it until I run into it fresh in Peru on tap or something. Not godawful thankfully.

0.305 bottle thanks to Marko who brought it from Germany. Clear golden, small off-white head. Aroma is grainy, cooked corn, stale malt, cardboard and hints of vegetable. Smooth, light body, soft texture, light carbonation. Slick, sweet, bready, corn, minimal bitterness. Finishes sweet.

Bottle at a Peruvian restaurant in Palm Beach.
Pours clear light golden with a small white head, some lacing. Skunky, straw, sour.
Not too good.

Not absolutely terrible. At least has the green bottle skunk infection, which I actually like. Golden pour. Bottle of this at a Venezuelan arepa place--the only reason I ordered it was I thought it was another Venevuelan tick from the city of Callao. I guess not. Maybe I'll get a Peruvian region.

Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce indizi di orzo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera normale e la maniera in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma è destinato a vita breve. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto cristallino e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è contenuto. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di facile beva. Il finale è semplice e dissetante. Il retrogusto è delicato. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, cereali, erba e agrumi.
