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.

does anyone even fucking care abour what this looks like. Umm, doesnt really have much else than a musty skunk aroma. Ya, a skunky taste is the basis of this shit. I feel sorry for the people in peru who have to drink this shit, cmon now perusians , learn how to make somthing that doesnt fucking suck.

I'm reaching, I really am, for something nice to say about this beer. By store just got this in, but it's skunked. It's not like he's had it on his shelf for more than a week nor is the cooler exposed to light, nor is the bottle not brown. The only reasons I can think of for this to be tasting so skunked is that it either sucked from the brewery or it's been in a wherehouse for several years before it made it to my store. The color reminds me of a Corona. Smells really bad. Tastes skunked. Mouthfeel is fuller than Corona, but not by much. Overall? Riiiight.

Bottle. This beer poured with a nice creamy head, which dissipated quickly, yet left some nice initial lacing. There was a nice chocolate aroma that emitted from the beer. The flavor was malty and chocolatey with a wierd and undesirable aftertaste that I can't describe. Had a cardboard like aftertaste. I don't beleive I would ever try this beer again. The aftertaste was kind of revolting.

This beer truly was a pleasant surprise....smooth, crisp, funky bottle, and a standout flavor. I was impressed and thought it the same or maybe better than Cristal from Peru. Many South American beers are lousy, but this one impressed me. My friend supllied it and I can't found them around where I live. Too bad.

Nothing to this lager. Weak not much flavor- little hop and a little malt. Finishes bland and dry.

This is -really- good. It's probably the best lager I've had. Smooth, no skunk, and a clean finish. A must-try.

Uglyradio (791) - Greenville, South Carolina, USA - AUG 1, 2003
This Peruvian lager beer has a typical lagerish, golden yellow color with a small, diminishing, fizzy white head. The aroma is grassy and slightly hoppy with a bit of cardboard mixed in. It has a light body with lots of carbonation and a crisp mouthfeel. The flavor is a little sweet with some hops up front, but the finish is lacking in any flavor. Very bland.

Why drink Bud when you can pay far more for imported swill? Fortunately, I only bought one 12 oz. bottle of this stuff. Basically an insult to the lager style. Almost no hops in the aroma or flavor. Just not much good in any way. One of the most unattractive beers I have ever seen in the glass after the foaming settles down. Yuck.
