Not absolutely terrible. At least has the green bottle skunk infection, which I actually like. Golden pour. Bottle of this at a Venezuelan arepa place--the only reason I ordered it was I thought it was another Venevuelan tick from the city of Callao. I guess not. Maybe I'll get a Peruvian region.

Probably the best of Peru’s pale lagers, it’s got a slight grainy nose, a cool bottle too, with the incan stonework and such. So there’s that.

Pour is more of a clear honey with a large white head. Aroma is beer. Some sweet grain malt. Flavor is a bland generic malt. No bitterness or hops. Just Ok.

Old rating from 2010 - 330ml bottle found in UK supermarket, first enjoyed many times on my Peru 2002 trip. This one pours clear golden with a off white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, earth, grain & malt. Moderate body. Light bitter finish
