Cumbres Maíz Morado

This was my post Machu Picchu beer and it was certainly one to remember. These guys put corn in everything and their craft beer is no different.

Brewed by: Cervecería Gourmet, Peru

Style: American IPA

(ABV): 7.20%

Colour - Deep orange. Much darker than I expected for an IPA Could be closer to a DIPA on first glance. Maybe it's the maiz. The head is a solid consistent white.

Smell - Musty grapefruit hop. Medicinal sweet corn aroma, but not as intense as the Cumbres Roja.

Taste - They don't half make strange tasting beer over here. Sweet and corny straight up. Strong piney hops cut through the initial sweetness. Not one for the faint hearted as the hops make a reappearance as you finish.

Feel - Fairly heavy on the mouth with medium carbonation.

2/5 Not my vibe
