Beer flavored water...seriously. no aroma, no taste...Even the color is very light, noticed on pour, it seems more clear than golden...not horrendous, but there isn’t much here to taste or savor either.

Can from Yamaya. ¥154. Nice deep gold, but heqd vanishes instantly and the it looks like ginger ale. Malty nose, slightly fruity, with sweet orange. Sweet malt, fruity, with strong hop bitterness in the finish, though little hop aroma or flavor. Decent enough for the price, but far from really good.

Bottle from Seymour - Summer secret Santa 2012. Pours clear golden color with white head. Grainy and fruity aromas. Cereal grain flavor with light fruitiness and mild bitterness. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Thanks!

Bottle. Golden color with small white head. Skunky, malty aroma. Taste, malt, harsh bitterness and some very strange aftertaste. Terrible.

(can) Clear rather bright yellowy pale gold with reasonable, but short-lived head. Pleasant aroma: lightly malty, with hints of lemon and grassy hops. Light body, a little watery, with pleasant carbonation. Reasonable malty foretaste then develops some citrus notes and then falls a bit flat with a finish which has notes of bread and a faint metallic tang. Overall, other than the finish, it’s quite acceptable, and a little ahead of most of the other beers on the corner store shelf.

(bottle) Clear pale gold with little head. Pleasant but subtle aroma. Light body, medium carbonation. Taste is not bad: rather light on flavour but nice balance between sweet and citrus tang; with a very little amount of bitterness. Overall, its OK.

It is a bright sunny Sunday afternoon and I’ve picked up the dog crap and leaves, mown the lawns for the first time this year, I am now sitting in the sun. My wife has even showered the dog in the garden, so summer is almost upon us (it’s 15th March 2009 in Shropshire, England). In my quest to drink around the world I ordered this beer along with a few others over the interenet from ’Beers of Europe’, didn’t know Korea was in Europe, but hey, they sent the beer. Brown 330ml twist-top bottle, best before 24th Mar 09, drank 10 days before that date. Poured into a Hoegaarden Grand Cru tulip shaped glass. Clear golden body, typical lager look, the large bubbles in the head didn’t hang around and soon the white head was a weak collar and a pathetic wisp, these in turn also disappeared before my second gulp. Sweet lemon grass was the smell I though I detected as I sniffed the bottle before pouring the beer. That aroms faded swifter than the head, so my normal lager/pilsner 3 for smell. Not unpleasant, but nothing to mark it above anyother lager import around. Starts off sweet in the mouth then turns dry towards the end. I could imagine drinking this at a hot and sweaty South East Asian beachbar but it isn’t a UK summers drink. Not enough body or seoul (see what I did there? Seoul/Korea) to make it a truely memorable experience. I am sure some wag has already suggested the brewery adds an ’S’ to its name, it could then be called the ’Shite Brewery’. This however would be unfair in my opinion, nothing wrong with this lager, however it is just below par and the head loss didn’t help its cause.

Golden clear. Doesnt hold a white head. Bland, chemically laden aroma. Harsh mouthfeel and bite that lasts well after the finish. Heavy malt taste.
