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.

12oz bottle pours a clear gold with some clumpy white head. You get the nose from way back and you know it well, metal, lemon, cheap stale malt, trashy. Flavor follows right along, heavy fake lemon, metal, some root veg, a bit of a sour note to it. Spritzy finish. Trashy.

L’intensità olfattiva è leggera e la persistenza olfattiva è sfuggente. Il gusto al naso rimanda all’orzo. Il cappello di schiuma ha scarsa resistenza, con bollicine medie. La sottostante frizzantezza è data da poche bollicine fini, con carbonazione persistente ed insistita. La consistenza del liquido è limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è leggero e scorrevole. L’amaro è leggero. L’intensità gustativa è leggera e la persistenza gustativa corta. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di facile beva. Il finale è pulito, dissetante e semplice. L’aroma in bocca restituisce sentori di pane e orzo.

Bottle from Rudat. Nice roasted and dark beginning. Not too much depth, sugary. Brown sugar, roast, not too much depth. Nice for such a beer. Refreshing though.
