Living in a Land of Shitty Beer - Cerveza Imperial


The Beer Advocate review of our national beer here in Costa Rica. The score of a "C" really is pretty generous. This is a fine beer after a long hot ride (the first one actually goes down pretty good), but after 3 of them a film starts to develop in your mouth and it's usually necessary to dissolve it with a shot of Guaro........then you're good to go for another 2 or 3. Unfortunately, not a single hop molecule is used when making this beer. The sad thing is, Costa Ricans are proud of it!

Cerveza Imperial

Beer Advocate OVERALL SCORE......"C" (mediocre)


Style ABV Light Lager

4.60% ABV

Drinkability - "If one can overlook the lack of taste, smell, and texture, this is the beer to drink. The absence of carbonation allows for easy drinking".

"I won't be seeking this beer".

"This is almost budwiser without the beachwood aging, this is just nasty, thank god it was 1.50 i would have felt cheated if i payed more. This beer poured a week golden color and no head, it's smell was corn and not much else, it was weak all around, i would avoid this one at all cost"
