Pilsen Trujillo

Brewed by Backus y Johnston (Grupo Empresarial Bavaria)
Style: Pilsener
Lima, Peru

Bottle. Light , but refreshing brew. A hit of malt and not so much corn as other Latin American beers. Good on a warm day.

Bottle. Poured a pale yellow with an average white head. The aroma found corn and some citrus. The flavor followed along the same lines. Light body, smooth and enjoyable. I liked this one slightly better over the Pilsen Callao more commonly found around northern Peru. Enjoyed on a warm day while walking the ruins of Chan Chan, Huaca el Dragon, y Huaca la Esmeralda in and around Trujillo.

Unimaginatively named and likewise brewed. This "pilsener" has the usual south american corniness, with a little bit of brown sugar flavour thrown in for interest.
