Light yelow in clour. Faint nose of hops and grains. Compared to the other Peruvian pils, the german hops come out a little bit more, with a bitterness cpoming closer to a Euro pils. Not bad.

A golden beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is sweet and warm - is it chili? The flavor is sweet, malty with a slightly bitter end - a really good thirst quencher. For a pilsener this has a great body.

Very light in colour, almost clear. No smell at all, but some sweetness. Tastes like water with a tad of alcohol and malt. Not the worst beer ever, but not the best!

Pale yellow colour with tiny particels floating around. Small but firm head. Corn aroma. Thin bodied. Slightly malty beginning turns into a quite dry finish with alcohol shining through.

As Latin lagers go, this isn't bad - little bit o' hop, little bit o' malt. Passable international beer.

What is going on down in Peru? They have Japanese running their country (well, not any more I guess, but for decades they did) and guys named Backus and Johnson brewing their beer. Not that they did a good job with this one. It is very dark brown in colour, with little head; brown sugar, toast & coffee in the nose (though that makes it sound better than it really was); thin body, sugary taste, cloying finish.

For a macrobrewed lager this has a lot of malt character. It has a soft palate and light spiciness. I would class this as a Dortmunder, myself. Last winter I decided to check out this taquiera in Koreatown I'd heard about, Tacos El Asador. I found this beer there, which is the first time in years I've accidentally discovered a new beer in Canada. Combined with the fantastic and dirt cheap food, this helped make El Asador one of my favourite restaurants. In fact, I think I'll go there for lunch today.
