Pilsen Callao. By far the oldest beer in Peru, and one of the longest-lived in South America. Pilsen Callao traces its origins back to 1863, when Federico Bindels partnered with the Frenchman Aloise Kieffer to make the first beer in the then Callao port neighborhood. More than a century and a half later, it remains at the highest levels of preference in the Peruvian beer market.

At Alma Baltimore: pours yellow with small head. Aroma is corny adjunct nonsense. Taste is sweet, some light hops. Not good.

Thin white head. Aroma of light bready notes, rice, and grassy malt. Taste has weak malty notes. Palate has lingering malt sweetness, rice elements. Eh.

305 ml bottle. A clear, much filtered, golden pour with a frothy off-white head, poor retention. Aroma is so mild you wouldn't even notice if served chilled (as it's expected.) When warmer, there are hints of syrup, iron, cardboard. Slightly sweet, otherwise flavorless and very watery. Bad.

Canned 305 ml shared with Max, kajser27 and Miro B. Clear golden with small head. Malty, sweet, corny and yuck. Light bodied.
