Cerveceria Brewery brews Imperial in Costa Rica. Black Eagle Imports, LLC imports the beer into California and Arizona. Currently, the brewery does not have a website in the United States, thus limiting the information on the history of the brewery. The beer can be found in six packs for $6.29 at BevMo.
The cardboard container contains six 12-fluid ounce brown glass bottles. Yellow, black, and red hues dominate the packaging. The package displays a frosty bottle of Imperial dripping with water beads. "Pura Vida, It's a lifestyle" adorns the handle on the container. The bottles are labeled more clearly with the brewery's logo of a decorative bird. A bright yellow cap with a subtle silver liner display the brewery's logo and name of the beer. The caps seal off a beer with an alcohol by volume of 4.6%.
The beer pours extremely smooth with almost no head. A filigree of foam remains trapping in yummy flavors. The beer releases a faint aroma similar to a room containing freshly polished wood. Bubbles of jubilee rise to the top in a constant fashion. The beer enters the mouth calmly. After a split second, a light tingling sensation spreads throughout different parts of the mouth. The beer leaves a pleasant hop-infused residue on the tongue. The beer resembles the qualities of American macro brews such as Budweiser.
The light tasting and low alcohol content Imperial should pair well with both lunch and dinner items. The beer would be perfect for a BBQ or a study session. Knock the edge off midterms with a "sixer" of Imperial. Study hard, Cougars, but do not forget to enjoy school.
