    Date Consumed: 2012
    Beer: Cerveza Imperial (Costa Rica)

    Alcohol Content: 4.6%
    Sourced: The Beer Store NZ (thanks to Julia Nixon!)

    Notes: Unimpressive beer, no real flavour. Would be very welcome in a hot and humid environment, but not a beer that you’d go for over other mass produced beers. Excellent logo though!
