    A friend brought this back for me on a recent trip to Peru. Pours bright golden, little white head. aroma is of grain, wheat and pears. Sort of citrusy and a little salty. your typical foreign pale lager. Thanks Alyssa!! :)

    Wait a minute...who substituted Michelob Ultra for my Peruvian Pilsen? No, that's not right...it's even lighter than that. Perhaps it's just meant to be a South American imitation of Perrier. That certainly would explain this anemic, almost crystal-clear color and soapy white head. Aroma is faint, slightly malty, and not unlike a typical American light beer. Mouthfeel and taste? I guess I've actually got to try it to give an accurate description, so hang on a sec... Mouthfeel is mostly carbonation; sort of club soda-ish. Speaking of soda, as soon as you take a sip, this stuff instantly turns into a mouthful of suds! Taste is, well, kind of absent. There is a little citrus twang going on, but not much else. On the upside, there's not any of the skunkiness that other BeerPalians have detected.

    Light gold color. Small head. Aroma is malty, grainy and fruity, with a touch of corn. A light bodied dort/helles style lager. Mild malts, touch of corn. Mild slightly spicy hops. Crisp. Light and refreshing. Very mild flavor, and somewhat watery. Yet it does have a nice dry finish. This beer falls into the category of ìits OK, but there is nothing thereî Mouthfeel is a little thin. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

    golden colour, few head, hoppy with notes of peanuts, medium-bodied, some character, sweet and oily, herbal notes in the finish, well-balanced - very drinkable for a south-american lager

    A slightly skunky aroma emerged when the bottle was first opened. The brew poured a light golden color with a tiny head that quickly dispersed into a thin layer of lace. The mouthfeel reflected the bubble action within the glass. The flavor wasn't bad....nothing special, but overall not bad.

    This is a Peruvian beer of Pilsner style. It has great full taste with a hint of sweetness. I get it when I go to Peruvian restaurants in the L.A. area, but I am looking for a website so I can order it online.
