0.33l can. Clear as a diamond, pale and golden with a white lager head that disappears quicker than the speed of a relatively fast car I guess. Smells like a pale lager, light dusty-hoppy and mildly malty. Perhaps a hint of some yeasty fruit? All in all quite blend and boring aroma. Really lively carbonation level and the mouthfeel is oily to watery. Not to much flavors in this one either. Light malty and there is a hint of bitterness in it. It writes on the label that they have putted cascade hops in it, and I guess they can't really lie on a label. Can they? Anyhow, this is just another boring industrial-beer made to please the crowd of "unknowners"

0.33l can shared with The Bergen Tasting Crew. Back to the Korean lagers! This is a crystal-clear pale golden beer with a small totally vanishing white head. The aroma has lots of yeasty-sweetness and hints of corn. Can actually remind a bit of a cheap apple cider. Not horrible, but not to pleasant either. Watery as hell in the mouthfeel with a soft carbonation level. As expected; low on the flavors this beer that's supposed to make me feel excellent. Has a fade acidic hint in the finish. Watery and not very good.

0.33l can. The pour is clearly clear. Common, it's a South Korean lager - of course it's clear and pale golden. This one also had a small white lager head, but that faded quite quickly. Low on the aroma, but i has something that can remind of a light burnt-soapy aroma mixed with sweet malts. Strange, but actually not horrible. Clean flavors - really low but clean as hell. Extremely blend and it doesn't really separate itself to much from any other pale lager. It has a average carbonation level and a mild watery mouthfeel. Ends kinda watery and really low on the bitterness. Light drinkable, but boring. Almost like drinking a mineral water actually. Dry finish? No. Just watery with a hint of really thin lemon juice.

Very thin head, very black body. Oh boy - another macro stout. It has the aroma of barley and grass in a swampland. The flavour is a murkey mess of sweet barley buried under an ocean of water. They completely dropped the ball on this stout.

From a ice cold tap @ Hyundai Hotel, Ulsan South Korea. Looks like your average lager this: A crystal clear pale golden beer with a small light fluffy and dense white lager head. Light pale-malty with notes of hops and vanilla in the aroma. It has a lively prickling carbonation level and a watery to light oily mouthfeel. Mild and a bit boring in the flavor but definitely not any bad flavors here. Yes, some thin hops here. I'd actually go so far and call this quite refreshing after a long day's work. Mild malty aftertaste that works OK. All in all not bad Korean lager. Best fresh from the tap.

0.33l can. A Korean stout you say huh? Well, let's try: Pours a dark brown - near black body with a small quickly fading beige head. Sweet and caramely on the aroma, some hints of thin cardboard and cold coffee. It has a soft to average carbonation level and a thin watery mouthfeel. Roasted and watered down flavors here. Some cold coffee, caramel, cardboard, metal and it has a OK hoppy bitterness. Ends with a burned flavor and a both sweet and dry finish and aftertaste. Not horrible to drink - especially after only drinking pale lagers for almost a week!
