Cusqueña De Trigo

Brewed by Cervecera del sur del Peru (Grupo Empresarial Bavaria)
Style: Wheat Ale
Arequipa, Peru

Poured a slightly cloudy golden with a big fluffy head. It has some qualities of a wheat beer, nice and refreshing with a lime, but lacks complexity and character. Great that Cusceno for trying something new in Peru.

from a street store in Lima, bottled 330ml. Very nice looks, non-transparent golden color, visible carbonation, HUGE fluffy head, proper lacing. Nose is yeasty and like hefes. Aroma starts as a nice hefe with complex yeasts but quickly flattens out and flavour is quickly diminshing. Grassy finish. Could be a fine beer if the flavour would be more emphasized.

Really hard to find, but nice in aroma and appearance. Although it had no taste at all.

I really enjoyed this treat that my wife brought back from Peru. It is refreshing and simple, perfect for the tropical heat of Panama. Less complexy and esery than true German hefes, but light, and grassy and truly refreshing. Not cloying, not full, I drank the whole 660 ml before the bottle got cold in near 90 degree tropical heat. Perhaps made for a mass market, but quite drinkable. I wish that I had more.
