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.

25/09/2011 31cl. bottle @ our hotel room (2011-456)

Fizzy aery white head, soda like, unstable and non adhesive, dissipates immediately. Little cloudy yellow to light amber coloured beer, some residue floating around. Aroma: very spicy, cloves, green tea, star anise, bit fruity, interesting but at the same time quite nasty, dusty. Dried orange peel. MF: lots of carbon, medium body. Taste: very sour lemony start, almost geuze like. then spices, probably the coca leafs, but I'll be damned if I can tell for sure. I'd describe it as tobacco, bitter oranges, lemon peel, cloves, curcuma, (bitter dry). All of this still with the very sour notes present. Aftertaste: can you guess? Yes, sour lemony. I'd like to know the Ph number of this beer. For sure the most interesting beer in Peru. It takes some balls for putting this in the market and that's why I give it an overall of 13!

Taste: citrus start, bit of malts giving a little body, softly bitter. Aftertaste: nice dry and bitter hops. Ok, but not super duper.
