0.33l bottle shared with ClubGonzo and Inbreak. A golden clear beer with a small quickly fading bubbly almost transparent head. The aroma is not way to nice. Old and dusty hops, a hint of sour and perhaps also some wet skunk here. Average carbonated and it has a watery to soft oily mouthfeel. Thin and blend flavors. It's lagerish - just a bit more watery. Somewhat dry in the mouth before it ends with a hint of fruity yeast and melon zest. Really boring. 04.01.2012

0.5l can. After one of the longest working-days of my life it's finally time to pop a well earned Golden Lager before I go to bed. This one is clear as clear can get, golden and it has a thin quickly fading and sidesticking white head. The aroma is mild with notes of fruity yeast, malts and some thin caramel hints. Smells quite alright, but I guess any beer would do that just about now.. Quite a lot of caramel flavors in this one. It's also sweetish and malty but also a hint of fruity yeast here as well. Ends quick and perhaps a bit dryish. A well earned Korean lager that actually tasted quite alright!

0.33l bottle @ Hyundai Hotel, Ulsan South-Korea. Pours a crystal clear pale golden body with a thin bubbly and light sidesticking white lager-head. Light grainy and sweet on the nose with mineral tones. Not waay to exciting. Light fizzing on the palate with a watery mouthfeel. Mild is a good word here. Mildly grainy, mildly pale-malty and mild cardboardy with some mild hops. Perhaps even some mild cactus hints towards the mild sweet finish. Drinkable as a lager. Boring as a beer.

0.33l bottle. Nice one! A non-pale lager in Korea? Amazing.. Anyhow, this is a clear deep deep red beer with a small quickly fading off-white head that sticks nicely to the sides of the glass. The aroma has a mild burned and sweet touch over it. A bit of sour dark malts here as well. Not extreme, but it's nice with something a bit different from the lagers. The carbonation level is average to soft and it has a thin and quite watery mouthfeel. Tastes alright I guess. Think this is a old bottle (not that it's easy for me to read Korean) A bit "old" flavors. It's light dark malty with caramel hints. Low on the bitterness and it ends mildly mouthdrying. All in all, drinkable and one of the better I've had so far here in Korea.

500ml can. Pours with okay foamy head that goes away quick, leaving a glass of urine staring back at you. Fairly strong aroma of lemon and cardboard. Taste is lemon with a watery finish and cardboard aftertaste. Another faceless pale lager for the database.

Has that foamy head, but with slightly more staying power than the Chinese beers - at least the Koreans are learning! Aroma is lemon and a slight hint of malt. Flavour is sweet cardboard with a caramel finish. Better than bad, worse than good.

0.33l bottle @ Hyundai Hotel, Ulsan South Korea. Crystal clear pale golden with a thin and quickly sidesticking white lager head. Smells sun damaged. Some sweet cardboard and hints of the shocked dog that has bees sleeping out in the rain. Tastes a bit better than it smells, but there is really not much flavor at all here. A bit sweet perhaps with a thin and watery mouthfeel. Ends in pretty much nothing with a everlasting completely blend and not present aftertaste. Thin stuff!

0.33l bottle @ Hyundai Hotel, Ulsan South Korea. A clear and pale body with a small quickly clenching to the sides of the glass just off-white lager head. Thin fruity-watery hints and some weak hops in the aroma. Average carbonated and with a thin and watery mouthfeel. Hints of burned malts in the flavor, some thin dusty hops and the whole thing ends extremely, and then I really mean extremely watery. Just like having a glass of tap water. No extreme bad flavors, even though I did not care to much for the burned tones. Drinkable as a thirst quencher.

Fresh Bottle. Fruity nose, light malt, some grass, lemon. Faint but inoffensive. Pale yellow with a thin lacy head. Malt and grain flavor, corn, a hint of hops, a bit of fruit, some citrus. Un-skunked, surprisingly. Rather sweet and fruity, light. Not terrible. Nothing really off, just very light and boring. And gassy.
