Appley, thin, not the worst but pretty bad. Like, how filthy of a ticker do you have to be to drink this?

Bottle from Total Wine in San Jose, CA. (Stevens Creek) Pours clear, bright gold with a large white head. Bready aroma; minimal hop. Med minus body. Flavor is bready with slight grassy hop. Clean and maybe even crisp. Decent considering the style.

Bottle at Chinese Graffiti: pours light gold with small white head. Aroma is light grain. Taste is sweet with a sort of bready taste. No bitterness. Tolerable.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Total Wine & More, Burlington. Appearance is clear, pale, bright golden yellow with lively sparkle, 2-finger width fizzy white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is weak mix of cardboard and musty basement, mild pilsner malts, hint of tart fruit. Taste is almost imperceptible pilsner/cracker malt and fruit. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with mild bitter. Overall, glad to have had the opportunity to try a South Korean beer. In trying to find something positive to say, though usually reserved for high ABV beers, I would say alcohol is hidden well because EVERYTHING IS HIDDEN WELL (much like a real estate listing describing a hovel as cozy ). There are session IPA's and even low/no alcohol offerings that have as much flavor as this. How did they get it to be so crisp and refreshing without slowing you down and still have 4.3%? Other than there's nothing here to offend and the carbonation would be thirst-quenching, there is nothing to recommend.

500 ml bottle. It pours clear pale golden, bubbly, with a foamy white head. Aroma is close to non-existent: some stale bread, some iron filings, some grass. Taste is watery, fizzy, slightly bitterish, leading to an abrupt finish. Not very good, but you can drink it.
