    I am not much of a beer drinker, but I have family visiting me here in Peru who are beer drinkers. So I decided to try some of them out to see what the big deal is.
    The big 3 beers in Peru are Cristal:

    Cusqueña:

    and Arequipeña:

    Out of the three I preferred Cusqueña. It had by far the smoothest taste out of the three with Arequipeña a distant 2nd and Cristal a distant 3rd.

    I have never been a big beer drinker but will be ordering Cusqueña the next time I do go out drinking.

    It was delicious, on a scale of nasty to delicious.

    I love their Amber and I love ESB but ... this beer is merely good. Very drinkable. Not near best in class.

    Just got back from Bora Bora last week and had both of these Tahitian beers. Some images from google since I couldn't bring any back.

    The Hinano I would give a 7/10 and the Tabu a 9/10. Both were really good but the Tabu was a lot better and stronger (6% alc). Only problem is I cannot find anywhere around here that has it.

    The current release in the Heavy Machinery IPA series is "Half IPA." Mega-hopped and extremely low alcohol. This is for hopheads that like to session in the summer heat.
    9.9/10

    Red Racer IPA - Pretty good IPA. It is a bit of a lighter IPA but still has a hoppy taste. Kind of sweet too. Smooth finish,

    Ginja Ninja - made with ginger. Not really my thing. Definitely different but I don't think i'd want more than one.

    Bud Light. It tasted better than horsepiss, worse than water.

    I vastly prefer Bodington's. It's ambrosia in a can.

    Boulevard 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat Beer.

    10/10

    Easily the most drinkable beer I've ever had. I'm quite impressed with this one. It's the perfect summer beer. They advertise it as a hybrid of an IPA and a wheat beer and these guys have hit a homerun. I'm going to get more.

    New Belgium's 2008 revival of Giddy Up - 8.2/10

    It's pretty interesting, it's very light for being espresso infused, I guess that comes from the lemon peel. Lots of rich favors but surprisingly refreshing. Haven't had much like it

    KBC Blueberry Wheat Ale

    9.7/10

    I love this stuff. I just found it tonight at Trader Joes in the Woodlands. I'd never heard of it before. Refreshing and tastes as advertised. Only paid 5.99 for a sixer.

    I can agree with that. I actually had it at 9.5 and changed it. What I'd like to have is a little more body. That said, for a summer beer it's close to perfect, especially at 5.99.

    I love blueberry anything and this beer is great but for me, it's one of those beers you can only drink 1-2 of a day.
