Dark burgundy-brown. Somewhat oily, cheap coffee nose. Thin...really thin. Hollowed-out flavours of nuts, coffee and molasses...it’s there but it’s a gutted, empty brew.

Pale metallic gold, lemony shine, with fluffy snowwhite head. Nose is again lemony - with a light vanilla touch, fade grain. Virtually tasteless. A little milkripe grain has been watered down into oblivion. Light and fizzy. The Korean answer to Bud Light: shock of the Giants! Warming up, however a faint flavour of rotting grain comes up. I could have done without....

Bottle. Clear light yellow color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, white head. Aroma is light malty, grain, rice, light light hoppy, grass. Flavor is light sweet and light light bitter with a short duration. Body is light, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. (181107)

Pour is a bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma is quite grainy for a lager but not much else shows up. Flavor is nothing really to make fun of since not much of a flavor shows up. Some corn and maybe some rice but that’s about it. Bland but i was not expecting much. These are one of those ratings that is for the country more than the beer.

Bottle. Dark brown with reddish hue, but very clear. Thin beige head that disappears quickly. Very little aroma - maybe vanilla. Thin body with fairly lively carbonation. The flavour is not a stout, but not unpleasant. It is malty with some bitterness, but not a lot. There are some other interesting flavours, although they are not prominent. I get chocolatey tastes and caramael and what seems to me rather like black sesame in the finish. It’s not a stout, but for a Korean beer it has some interesting dimensions to it.

Bottle. Loose head that quickly dissipates. Reasonable golden yellow colour.Almost no aroma - maybe malt and something a little unpleasant if you try very hard. Very thin palate with pleasant carbonation. Taste is very weak - no bitterness, a small amount of malt, just slightly metallic on the foretaste, developing into a not unpleasant acidity. It’s not an unpleasant experience, but it’s weird - it’s beer with almost all the things that make up beer taken out, or greatly attenuated. It is alcoholic soda water with a hint of malt and a bit of acidity. It reminds of those soda water drinks with a hint of fruit juice. If you think of it as an alcoholic one of these with a hint of malt, it’s ok. But as a beer it’s a disappointment. [An afterthought - the label states "The Stylish Beer with Fiber" - is it possible for a beer to have fibre?]

Bottle. Very pale yellow with initial head that dissipates quickly despite lively carboantion. The aroma is subtle possibly cirus. The mouthfeel is thin and watery with more than enough carbonation. The taste light and refreshing with a reasonable balance betwen sweet malt tastes and some acidity. It is by no means a great beer. It is however quite drinkable and in my opinion the best of the Korean beers from big brewers (Cass, OB, Hite).

Bottle: Poured a golden clear amber with a foamy carbonated head. Aroma is malt, hops, and grain. Taste is metallic grainy.

I bought this from local grocery shop ... you don’t see very often beers from South Korea there :) Very pale yellow color, decent white head which then fades away- looks similar to Bud. Sweet corn-grassy hoppy aroma , which is a bit skunky and metallic. Low bitterness, flavor is almost all sweetcorn, only a tiny hint of malts in the finish. Light sweetish aftertaste. This is clearly Korean Bud imitation.
