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.

A hazed golden wheat beer with a thin white head. In aroma, faint fruity malt with light mineral notes. In mouth, a light fruity wheat beer, with light banana esters, so-so.

Total Wine, Fairfax 330ml (cheap): Pours pale gold with white head. Aroma is macro lager. Taste is slightly sweet and a bit corny. Easy to drink and wasn’t in the least bit offensive.

Nice barley aroma and taste in this. Minor stickiness in the head, fairly fluffy for a pale lager. 62 cl bottle from UK grocery. Nice flavor to this one, not watery or bland.
