A - Clear, pale, straw yellow color with a one-finger, white head of bubbly foam. It left little to no lacing.

S - It smelled of caramel, grains and grasses.

T - Spicy upfront with a nice sweet backbone of caramel and grains.

M - It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A light bodied lager.

O - This is an okay pale lager. Only my second Peruvian beer.

First beverage of my Peru trip, beer or otherwise, and it's not a bad one at all. A helluva looker poured into a tall pils glass, this golden brew is topped with a huge meringuelike head. Excellent retention and abundant soapy lacing top to bottom. Fresh grainy nose with light floral sweetness and an earthy quality underneath. Tastes pretty much as advertised, although the snap of bitterness and hint of citrus are pleasant surprises. Plentiful carbonation and plentiful chuggability. Exceedingly refreshing. Something tells me I may revisit this brew a few times before this trip is over.

12 oz bottle pours a crystal clear, dark gold color with a tight-bubbled cap of white head. Retention is not bad for the style and it does leave a few patches of spotty lace.

Nose is not bad either, honeyed cereal grains and kiss of floral hops. Clean and relatively fresh.

Taste is very clean graininess with a nice little toasty aspect. Not bad, goes down easy and this is one of the better imported lagers I have had recently. I would like to see a more pronounced hop presence on the flavor, but maybe a fresher sample would show a bit more lupulin. If I found myself wandering the streets of Lima, I would be happy to throw back a few of these.
