Bottle (Dank am See!): Clear, golden, small but stable white creamy head, mild sweetish-bitter aroma of grains and delicate grassy hops; mild sweetish-bitter flavour, pretty light bodied, but also a bit sticky; short sweetish malty finish, hardly balancing bitterness in the aftertaste. Boring, but not really bad...

9/8/2022. Bottle courtesy of Idiosynkrasie, cheers Boris. Peru rating #10. Pours very slightly hazy golden with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is grainy, orange, citrus, caramel, biscuit, peach, honey, touch of herb. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness increasing to finish with a light tart edge. Moderate body, oily, soft carbonation. Grew to like this one, most enjoyable Cusquena I've tried.

Ever so slightly hazy golden coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of wheat, grass, hay and some flowers with a tiny bit of spice noticeable towards the end. Light to Medium-bodied; Relatively strong wheat flavours show at first with some nice sweetness from bananas and a dash of yeast and bread here as well without much else, but a relatively easy-drinking wheatie profile. Aftertaste shows some light coriander seed at the very end with more of a banana and yeastie finish with some soft sugars, that seems to work very well with Peruvian chicken! Overall, a nice beer, especially for the food that I'm eating right now and a welcome option for the Cusquena lineup, perhaps my favourite so far. A good option if you are here in the country, as it should be relatively easy-to-find and quite easy-drinking while being full of flavour and a good deal of copmlexity. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Primo's Chicken Bar in San Isidro, Lima, Peru on 02-August-2022 with my wife and three kids while eating dinner here.

Rich ruby and light brown coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of relatively strong malts with a light nutty and earthy scent with some light sugars here and almost no hops at all. Light to Medium-bodied; Fairly strong nutty and earthy qualities show at first with some light sweetness from the caster sugar and a little bit of stone fruits, but this really is all about the malts with a super easy-drinking profile. Aftertaste shows some earthiness and surprisingly, a good amount of creaminess and lactose notes with only a touch of hops and bitterness, but this is smooth and easy-drinking. Overall, a light and crisp beer that has a bit of a toasted malt profile, but very easy-drinking and sweet without any hop notes or associated bitterness. Nice to sample here in Peru and a welcome option to have a slight difference from light lagers. I sampled this 33 cL bottle, purchased from Grifos Espinoza [minimart] in Lince, Lima, Peru on 02-August-2022 for S./4,90 while walking the streets of Lima on 02-August-2022.
