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.

From a 33 cl bottle deep in the Amazon jungle of Peru. Pours a clear hold with a thick white head. Aroma of white bread. Flavors of foamy nothingness.

35,5cl can. Pours pale golden with a small white head. Lightly malty aroma with cereals, hints of cooked vegetables and possibly traces of hops. Sweet and grainy with a hint of souness and a very light bitterness in the finish. A bit watery with a very short aftertaste. Drinkable, but preferably when it’s hot... [Gift from my dad - thanks!]

On tap at Le Carolus, Paris. Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, slight lactic nose. Weak malty, light cardboard and some corn with short sweetish finish. Waiter was trying to convince me that it’s Pilsen Callao, although on bill it was Pilsner Urquell, and on tap logo of Pilsen Callao....so who knows?? it was really bad, so I would even agree with him.
