10-day import binge, part 3: Costa Rica

Hello again beer people! Tonight I continue the Latin America's in the Import Binge, with a stop in Bella Costa Rica. Imperial, the national Cerveza of the island nation will provide tonight's entertainment. Let's get into it!

Bolder, and a bit more flavorful than Mexico's offering, Imperial really shines in a few areas. First, its nose straight out of the bottle, is right in line with a quality German Lager. The finish also provides a nice settling kick. The best thing about this beer is the way it seems to taste better the more you drink it. Out of everything so far in the group, this is easily the best for sipping, or to wash down a hearty meal. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer much in bitterness, and the aroma doesn't go beyond that tried and true Lager smell. This isn't really a bad thing, however. Although it is rather light, for being the all-around best import so far, I give Imperial 8/10.

Until next time, Happy Drinking!
