Bottle: I should have set it back in the beer tub as soon as I saw it was in a green bottle. It appeared clear since I didn’t waste a pour. The aroma was pure sun riddled skunk cock, I almost wanted to screw the top back on since it was a twist, but I had used the bottle opener like a dumbass. The taste was very bitter, sour past its best days grain. I could almost make out laughter of the distributor that brought this gem into South Korea!

Bottle. Clear amber, no head. Vegetable aroma with a hint of vanilla. Medium body and carbonation. Sour taste with a hint of malt. No bitterness and a flat swift finish. Very disappointing.
