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.

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

Bottle @ home. Peruvian tick but fuck man, I already got one. Dammit! Clear, light golden appearance with a white head. Crisp, lightly grainy, pale malty, grassy aroma. Sweet, light pale malty, straw, grassy flavor. Actually, pretty easy drinking light lager.
