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.

Bottle: This is now the palest yellow color I have ever seen poured. Small white head with a short lifespan. Aroma is initially crisp with bitters and grassiness into a lagery sweetness. Flavor is lager malt with relatively no bitters, really just a slight hint of some hops being in the same room as this beer.

Moderately weak but balanced aroma of honey and grain. Gold color, no head. Grainy taste with noticeable alcohol. Grass finish. Below average, but fairly drinkable.

Bottled(330ml). -from Utobeer, Southwark, London.
Pale yellow coloured, almost no head, bready nose, low carbonation. Mild malty and hoppy with notes of of corn. If we consider from which country does this beer come from, it’s quite good.

Boy how the label of this and the one from Portugal are the same. Quite confusing. Has a coarse sweet malt liquor alky aroma but under control. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. taste is rather unique, it starts off somewhat sweet but has this constant nagging industrial processed aftertaste. Decent carbonation. Does have some attributes that remind me of many central american pale lager brews. Extra Fina it says. Finish is slight alky mixed with odd candy hints. Not bad overall, no cheap corn detected.

Bottle. (thx yespr, for sharing) Clear, yellow-golden body with a white head. Grainy and slightly fruity aroma and flavor, with a wee hoppy note in the aroma. Thin body. Not much of a finish. An utterly boring beer, but there’s nothing wrong with it. Quite quaffable. (071005)
