From Cervecería Artesanal La Paz in Cuenca Equador comes their “Latitud Cero° Sierra Negra”.  The Marzen pours a deep copper colour with a tan head.  The aroma consists of mild roasted malts, caramel, fruit and a semi sweet finish.  The flavour is of caramel, bread, grain, fruit and some mild bitterness.  The alcohol content comes in at 4.8%.  This beer is a bit one dimensional but it is tasty and would be a much better choice than the standard South American lager!
