Bottle. Nice barley malt aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Barley malt flavor with light sourness and hops. A smooth drinkable lager at least as good as BMC products.

Medium-sized coarse-laced light beige head subsides quickly. Deep dark red body with ongoing carbonation. Faint caramel aroma with touches of sugar. Watery burnt taste initially, then light caramel and licorice. Faint chocolate. Faintly bitter and dry aftertaste. Ok, but way too little body. (0.33l bottle.)

Thin white head which completely disappears. Pale yellow body with powerful carbonation. Aroma of malts with a touch of apple. Taste is stale grain, very watery, with only a touch of bitterness. Some cardboard. Really poor. Didn’t finish. (Can.)

Pale golden lager with a thin white head. Aroma of skunk and sulfur, with sickly sweet notes, and boiled corn. In mouth, lightly skunked mineral water...this is the @hite! Refreshing @hite!

Canned (can says 4,5%, Russian infosticker says 5%). Cocacolaish colour and thickness. Huge beige head. Aroma of skunked hops (piss) at first, but once it’s been a while in the glass the pissy hints are off. Flavour is mildly roasted malt, some caramel and acidicness too. Thin palate, and quite dry, papery mouthfeel.

Can says 4,5% alcohol, but label says 5.0%. Copper brown, good expresso head. Lemony, alcoholic and crisp, somehow hoppy aroma with hints of rubber, no roast found here. Light malty, some roast and some caramel in the beginning. Dry mouthfeel. Nothing really wrong here, just very light body and this is not a stout. More like dark lager or dunkel. Really underrated, propably people have rated this against proposed style.

(Bottle 64 cl) "Exfeel" is short for "Excellent feeling"! What a great sense of humour amongst those Koreans... Now, first the good people in the Korean brewing industry removed all flavour and hops from their beers. With this one they’ve gone one step further: they’ve now even removed just about all calories. Fantastic! Neato golden colour in the deep end of the scale. Just about no head. A little malt, a bit of hops and a lot of carbonation. 020603

Cloudy golden color. Ordinary; light residual sweetness. (Probably the can is too old).

I was actually a little surprised by this one. Surprised it was not vile. Pours a clear gold color with a thin white head. No real lacing to speak of and the head was short-lived. The aroma is lightly sweet which was another surprise. Light-bodied with a barely average hops flavor. The finish is a little sweet and a little fruity. This isn't a beer I would seek out again but I would drink it in Korea over a Bud.
