Huari

Cervecería Boliviana Nacional
Bolivia·American Adjunct Lager
Tap to rate

CBN's premium Bolivian lager, brewed in Oruro with 80% malt and 20% rice, cooked in untreated spring water whose natural pH is the beer's fingerprint. Uniquely among Bolivian lagers, Huari runs a pre-fermentation step for a more elaborate flavour. Named after the pre-Inca Huari culture of the Andean highlands.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, bready Malz character balanced by a subtle mineral undertone derived from the untreated Andean spring water. Low hop presence allows the malt and mineral notes to unfold clearly, with a faint grainy sweetness that suggests the rice adjunct integration. The overall effect is clean and straightforward.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and crisp with prominent malty-bready flavours that dominate the mid-palate, complemented by a gentle mineral spine. The pre-fermentation step yields a more layered sweetness than typical adjunct lagers, avoiding harshness while maintaining clarity. Bitterness is minimal (10 IBU), allowing the Malz character to persist without interference.
