23/XII/25 - 33cl bottle, shared with the misses @ Yori Korean Restaurant (Lille), BB: 15/VII/26, L20327503 19:42 (2025-1460)
Clear gold blond beer, big creamy solid white head, a little stable, non adhesive. Aroma: a bit malty, hay, corn, sweet impression. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: malty start, grains, hay, watery, soft bitterness, a bit oxidized, some cardboard, sweet touch, pretty watery, gentle bitterness. Aftertaste: sweet, malty, grains, hay, a little grassy, malty, some caramel, gentle bitterness. Oh well, it went down with some great Korean food, so I’m not complaining.

Achetée dans un sushi shop à Lyon le 12 juillet 2024
Nez céréalier typique de lager.
Liquide doré, bien effervescent et limpide.
Petite mousse semi crémeuse qui tient plus ou moins.
Entrée de bouche céréalière avec notes de maïs sucré.
Équilibre généralement malté et sucré avec une finale également sucrée sans beaucoup d’amertume.
Corps assez mince et effervescence au maximum.
Bière commerciale et sucrée sans beaucoup d’intérêt.
O:5.25 V:3.8 G:4.8 C:2.5 G:9.5 T:25.85 / 50 (5.17 / 10)

A colleague kindly agreed to bring me a beer back from Hong Kong. He brought this can. Gold. Bubbly. Head starts off frothy but soon ebbed away. Very sweet aroma. Chemical hints. On the sickly side. Sweet and sour. Some bitterness in the finish. Some syrupy fruit but also an industrial chemical element. Light b bodies. Watery but slick. Fizzy carbonation. The finish leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Another crappy lager.
