Bottle, 4.4%. Clear yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is grainy, seems to have a hint of alcohol even though the ABV is not so high. Sourish grain in the finish.

(bottle, 33cl) Clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy white foam. Sweetish malty and slightly grainy nose with a touch of banana (yes, it is not a Hefeweizen), also traces plastic and ascorbic notes. Moderately sweet flavour, light bodied with a quite flat carbonation. Bland pale Lager style with a tart note and hints of banana towards the slim and slightly corny malty and slightly ascorbic and tart finish with a very discreet level of bitterness. 08.VI.10

07/03 0.33 l bottle from Asian store in Mitte, Berlin. My first South Korean beer. It poured pale golden body with medium sized head. Sweet honey malt aroma, grainy with notes of rice. Flavor was typically thin, sweetish with rice, grainy malt and slightly lemony. Shorter sweetish finish which becomes bitterish at the very end. Boring and watery pale lager, although nothing unpleasant.

Found at some Asian store somewhere between Mitte and Marcus Bräu. Poured a golden-yellow body, medium sized thick white head. Eggy nose some vitamins, fruity and yoghurty. Light, slightly yoghurty taste, rice, sweet, very light hop aftertaste. Eh. New country?

Bottle from a small thai-shop near Cph. Station. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty grainy aroma. Almost no hops. Light bitter almost flavorless. Short finish. Watery palate. All and all not terrible considering origine.

Strong candidate for worst beer in the world. Thin and inconsistent. Varies bottle to bottle. Killer hangover with one sip, so you might as well finish the bottle.

Large bottle thanks to my dad. Pours with an extremely pale, yellow body and a small white head. Aroma is grainy and light grassy with saaz like hops. Taste is light, sweet and grainy. Not offensive. Medium to high carbonation, very thin.
