The flagship beer in South Korea and it’s a shame because it’s terrible. Tastes just like a Budweiser.

Can
Light golden color, small white head. Sweety cardboard-grainy aroma. Fizzy, strongly. Rice, grain, no hops. Hopeless.

Canned (from a friend, thanks Bertil!). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is rice and some grass. Flavour is rice and mild notes of rubber. Very watery and not too tasty.

330 ml bottle. Pale golden body with an OK white head. Almost no aroma at all. Thin, watery, weak flavor. Almost a bit sour, and frankly I think that’s the hop.

bottle - Wait, the commercial description actually brags about adding rice? Ok then... It’s just another crappy, thin, yellow, fizzy, weak, watery, adjunct laden, pale lager. On the plus side I thought it was almost inoffensive and thus better than Cafri.

12oz bottle. Pale yellow color. Inoffensive non-odor. Very poorly balanced beer. Way to sweet with no real accompanying hop balance. Tastes almost like a light version of an American-macro Malt Liquor. Pretty bad beer, finishable, but not recommended.

Pale golden beer; huge, fluffy white head. Neutral nose. Some adjunct even here, it seems. Pretty tasteless. I’ve had OB beers before, and to me, they’re rice flakes mashed with tons of enzymes. Seaweed without salt on the palate. Empty, water, dry-ish. Useless "beer".

Bottle. Clear, yellow with amber hint. Good white head, but doesn’t last. Reasonable aroma - mainly malty, maybe grass. Palate is very thin and quite fizzy. Falvour is very light and somewhat acidic and fruity: pear, banana. Clean, crisp finish. It’s not interesting and I can’t recommend it, but it’s drinkable, if you can’t find anything else.

Bottle, shared by yespr. Clear, pale golden, with a nice, white head. Grainy, malty start on the aroma. Quite fruity as well. Fruity flavor, pear, and apple, and grains as well. Thin and watery body, and not much interesting. (071005)

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Pours a clear, pale golden with a decent, dense, white head. Lightly malty nose. Light in body, fresh, fruity touches with a whiff of malt. Almost no bitterness. 051007
