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.

Four-pack of 33cl brown bottles, with an Inca Wall or Mountain scene embosed around each one. What are Peruvian Beers doing in Shropshire, England? Best before 22 Jan 2009, these were drank and reviewed 24th July 2008. Poured into one of my Veltins stemmed Tulip shaped glasses. Good deep gold colour, clear and crisp looking. Well formed white head at first, tried to stay around, but failed. The usual lager no-smell, but a weak wiff of malt could just about be sniffed. Best tasting South American beer I’ve had so far, out of about 10, all lager based beers. Full body for a lager, tastes between a German Pilsner and a Dort, obviously the Saaz Hops go a long way to helping the beer seem that way. I was impressed, only bought the beers to help with my journey of drinking around the world, glad I did. Found this beer again in Brussels: a Peruvian eating joint, they had other Peruvian beers in the window but were for show only, pity.

Got this at a bottle shop in florida. Pretty cool bottle for a twist off cap. Smell is simply clean lager.Half decent pale lager appearance. First taste is typical out of country middle and south american lager. Fairly well behaved, has a touch of lemon in there and I’d say its a little metallic too. Good sizzle on the palate. Fairly enjoyable and well behaved, glad its not old and bitter. Finish does have a mild bitterness building on the back of the throat but its never over the top. Comes across like much less than 5%.

0.33l bottle courtesy of yngwie and shared with the Kristiansands mafia. Pours a clear golden body, has a few floaters and a small white light sidesticking head. On the nose this is sweet, quite worty - actually ONLY wort. It's average carbonated with a light thin and fizzy texture. Really low on the bitterness this one, not directly bad tasting, kinda grainy and wort-ish again in the flavor. Ends light dry on the tongue. Not horrible at all, but kinda blend and not utterly exciting. Nice to have tried. 30.03.2012

Originally rated May 2005. This Peru lager pours a pale yellow colour with a white head that leaves some decent lacing. Thank God, because that’s about it for this beer. The aroma is almost as faint as my feet after a bath... hardly anything there. Just a tad of malt. Taste is the same. At least they could add corn to it. Just a refreshing brew.

Bottle. A clear one, golden in color and with a finger-thick white head that lasts. Rather fruity nose with grainy wort. Boring, not offensive, but utterly boring. Thin on the palate, dry and soft carbonated. Grains and some fruityness in the flavor, not much bitterness detected at any stage. Lightly metallic at the end. Well, its not bad in any way, but I certainly wouldn’t drink many of it. 120330
