Description
In 1908 Ernesto Günther and a group of investors founded in the city of Cusco, a branch of the Cervecería Alemana Günther & Tidow. In 1939 Cervecera Alemana Günther & Tido changed its name to Compañía Cervecera del Sur del Perú (Cervesur) and increased its production. In 2000 the company with its plants in Arequipa and Cusco, and with the popular brand Cusqueña, becomes part of the Backus Group (Backus y Johnston), thereby consolidating itself to the point of turning it into a company capable of competing in a globalized environment. Finally, in 2015, the Backus Group becomes part of AB InBev.

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.
