Sample thanks to Grumbo, shared with haddock. Appearance is murky, golden. Aroma is lightly fruity, assorted grainy malt. Continues to taste with a fruity sweetness coming through, alongside grainy syrup and indistinct adjunct. It's a tick.

Sunday 26th September 2021. The quest goes on tasting with Mat in Chez Sophie. Shared sample from Grumbo; cheers mate. Slight haze to the golden body, no head. Most likely oxidised, so difficult to give a proper score (I detected an apple like flavour). Got my North Korean tick though!

Deep gold, all kinds of caramel on the nose. On the palate, bland and caramel. I mean it’s ok if you like watery caramel. Passable, as communist lagers go.

Bottle and sample courtesy of MarkoNm, cheers! Pours very slightly hazy with a very small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of malt, grain, syrup, caramel and rice water. Light to moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Light body, watery texture, quite flat carbonation. Finish is slightly sticky and grainy. Not great, though somehow expected worse?

Bottle. Hazy grey golden, white lace. Oxidized hay and rusty nose. Light body, sparkles. Hayish malt, a bit dusty, light butter, but mostly clean, dust reteronsal. Mostly clean, not great, but ok. North Germany is best Korea.

Bottle, at SinH4-5K-MoritzF-10K tasting. Pours clear golden. Aroma is bread, butter, metallic. Body is rather light, sweet and buttery, greasy, slick. Lively sticky carbonation. Ugh.

Clear golden with little white head. Aroma is sweet malty buttery body, bready, caramel. Taste is sweet malt with some peas. Drinkable. Not that bad. North Korea, you got it.

Bottle, many thanks Koelschtrinker! Golden color with white head. Aroma is bready, caramel, lightly oxidized. Taste is caramel, buttery, papery. Silky mouthfeel. Absolutely alright.

Mild hellmalziger Antrunk. Süßlicher Hintergrund, der nicht lange anhält, zunehmend trocken. Süffig, zum Ende bitter-malzig. Okay. 8/7/8/8/6/8
