jgb9348	3.7 Sierra Andina Shaman IPA Crisp and nice copper coloured body with a slight orange glow and a thinnish, off-white head about a single centimetre tall. Aroma of bright grassy and grapefruity hops with a lot of alpha acids noticeable along with some very small sweetness from citrus fruits and a good malt backbone to support the hops. Medium-bodied; Strong hop flavours dominate with a definite citrusey quality and some piney, resinous notes that bring out the bitterness from the hops, ending with a light sweetness from fruits at the end, but this (as it should be) is all about the bitterness. Aftertaste is rich from the hop bitterness with a lot of grassy notes, some flowers and a good bite from the hops, with enough support from the malt and no real sugars at the finish, but enough to be robust and balanced. Overall, a surprisingly nice, older school (read: real bitter) IPA that hits the marks nicely for the style, especially in this location and a good option considering the options. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Wong [grocery store] in Miraflores, Lima, Peru on 03-August-2022 for S./10,90 sampled on the streets of Lima, Peru with my wife and three kids on 05-August-2022.

jgb9348	3.3 Sierra Andina Pachacutec Imperial Ale Very nice, crisp copper and deep bronze coloured body with a thinnish, off-white and deep tan head that fades pretty quickly, but leaves a nice thin lace on top. Aroma of deep malts, some lighter sugars with honey and resin noticeable, and a floral, grassy kick towards the end, but the rich malts and sugars seemingly battle through everything and leave a lot of pungency. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich malt notes dominate here with a lot of sweetness from stone fruits, honey and resin with a lot of bitterness here from the hops and even more of an astringent and pungent alcohol bite towards the end. Aftertaste shows a lot of flavours of just about everything, with a rich malt profile, some relatively strong alcohol and sugars, but a good pungency throughout that is nice for down here and enjoyable compared to other light/lagers here. I sampled this 33 cL bottle (blue front) purchased from Wong [grocery store] in CencoSud, San Isidro/Miraflores, Lima, Peru on 01-August-2022 for S./ 10,50 sampled on the streets of Lima, Peru with my wife and three kids on 02-August-2022.

ctipping	3.3 Sierra Andina Shaman IPA Bottle. Light haze. Orange body. Smells of biscuit malt, floral hops. As it warms, more caramel malt and pine hops come out. Tastes of a little citrus with the pine. Caramel malt builds as the hops drop off. Moderate bitterness. A little heavy but not sweet and I don't seem to mind the heft. A good beer by Peruvian standards, but maybe not something I'd love with my normal access to beer. Saturday, July 14, 2018
