🌍 Peru · Vienna Lager · One of 13 Vienna Lagers in hopIQ

Cusqueña's amber variant — slightly darker and maltier with caramel sweetness and a clean finish. Malta draws on the Vienna lager style brought to Latin America by European immigrants. Richer and more complex than the Lager: the choice for Peruvian ceviche and lomo saltado pairings.
