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.

Move along, nothing to see here. Pale golden color with a medium white head that fizzed out pretty quickly. Very little lacing. The aroma is lightly malty with a kind of sweet biscuit character. Crisp and light bodied and on the malty side. There are some hops but really not enough to keep this interesting for long. The finish is a little soft and watery but there is definitely worse out there. Below average on the whole but better than I was expecting.

Blond color. Some malt in the aroma, and a little in the flavor as well, but ends to simply.

Rather weak tropical beer with little hops, but some nice malts in the mouth. Rather nice when its 30C and humid, but not inspiring.

This is better than the Negras I had in Argentina. Deep dark beer with a nice moka head. Sweet fruity chocolate aroma. A bit too sweet to the mouth but enjoyable vinous taste, a little roasty or woody.

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.
