25/09/2011 31cl. bottle @ our hotel room (2011-456)
Fizzy aery white head, soda like, unstable and non adhesive, dissipates immediately. Little cloudy yellow to light amber coloured beer, some residue floating around. Aroma: very spicy, cloves, green tea, star anise, bit fruity, interesting but at the same time quite nasty, dusty. Dried orange peel. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: very sour lemony start, almost geuze like. then spices, probably the coca leafs, but I'll be damned if I can tell for sure. I'd describe it as tobacco, bitter oranges, lemon peel, cloves, curcuma, (bitter dry). All of this still with the very sour notes present. Aftertaste: can you guess? Yes, sour lemony. I'd like to know the Ph number of this beer. For sure the most interesting beer in Peru. It takes some balls for putting this in the market and that's why I give it an overall of 13!

Bottle 31 cl. Courtesy of Myrup. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a small off-white head. Weird, tart herbal aroma. Light body, a little low in carbonation, tart citrus and herbal notes. Tart finish without being infected. A very strange experience. 130809

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy. The flavor is slightly acidic with notes of spices and citrus, leading to a dry spicy finish. Thanks Myrup for sharing.

Hazy golden with a tiny white short lasting head. Flavour had loads of what I presume coca leaves, and herbal notes. Finished spicy.
