Import bottle. 2nd of two Korean Heine wannabes in a row. Pours even apler than the O.B. Clingy bubbles, no head. Stale peanut shell smell. Taste, though is not as sucky as I expected. Admittedly fizzy, which covers the adjunct taste. Lets some maltiness through, and a bit of bitterness. So yeah, it does have its points. Not a lot, but there you go.

Bottle. Thanks to the white elephant trade at the 2nd Chicagoland RB Gathering! I can knock off another country with its typical Hienekan wannabe beer. Pale pale pour. Smells like tap water with a little malt stirred in. Usual pale pour, big head out of the bottle that quicly slows to nothingness. Taste is… geez, I don’t know what it is. It hasn’t gone bad, yet it just isn’t beer. Slightly grainy, much corny and kind of skunky. Slight bitterness fails to overcome lack of beerness.

Just another plain lager that tastes pretty much the same as other lagers. Decent, for what it was but nothign spectacular. Just a SK version of a general macro.

Pale yellow color with a fizzy white head. Aroma of funk and some grain. Slight hints of rice, some grass, but mostly devoid of flavor. Leaves a fairly funky aftertaste.

Thin coarse white head over very pale yellow body with ongoing carbonation. Looks like a soft drink. Faint apple-like aroma. Sweetish. Taste is watery sweetish apple juice with a watery bitter finish. No off-taste, but so watery it’s unpleasant anyway. (0.33l bottle.)

Thin white head shrinks into a thin film. Very pale yellow body with some carbonation. Watery perfumed aroma. Taste is watery, perfumed grain with a touch of chalk. Really, really. poor. (Can.)

[Canned] Very pale yellow. Some rice, plenty of fizz but above all loads of water. Slightly syrupy finish. Completely void of anything even remotely likable.

Dark in color with reddish tint. Bitter flavor, knockoff of a Killians irish red for Koreans. Smell was skunky. Not very pleasant, unless there was nothing else.

Korean budweiser, golden in color. Smell is not worth sniffing very sour smelling. Taste is of a grainy american beer. Every bottle seems to be diffrent in alcohol %, so one night 7 makes you feel happy, the next it takes 3.

Bottle - my experiences with Asian beers made me a bit weary. Actually was okay - Not much aroma but tasted okay - at least as good as Old Mil.
