About
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.

A light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is next to non existing, but there are very faint notes of malt. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and straw, leading to a dry end. The mouthfeel is very carbonated and watery.

Bottle. Light sweet corn syrup aroma. Golden yellow with little head. Slightly sour corn syrup flavor - little malt flavor and no hops. What makes it worse is that I had to buy a six-pack.

A light yellow beer with a nice head. The aroma is hoppy and sour, probably from the use of brewing cereal. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of metal, while the end is dry.

Blond color. Light malt aroma. Dry taste, with a high bitterness. So similar to Premium Cristal… reminds me that Simpson’s episode at Duff’s brewing facility…

Very dark. Sweet aroma, with light roasted malt. Drier than Cusqueña Malta, less sweet, more roasted malt, light liquorice.
