This is Inca Kola, the biggest selling soft drink in Peru. Bigger then, believe it or not - Coca-Cola! Yes it´s true, every local you speak to will tell you so.
The colour is yellow (nice urine colour), and the taste is very bubble gummy. A bit of an acquired taste I say, but it does go down well with a meal. And it is a nice refreshing alternative to the Coke monster. To find out more visit their website (in Spanish)!
Incidentally, did you know Coca-Cola still purchase 115 tons of coca leaf from Peru and 105 tons of coca leaf from Bolivia yearly. However it is only used for the flavouring ingredient as part of the Coke formula. I found this interesting information out from the Coca Museum back in La Paz, Bolivia. :)
