Can shared at a tasting at Lior D's place. Thanks Igor for this bottle! Cloudy golden. Oxidation, cardboard, pretty sweet, watery.

Gold, bright, with thick foam. The aroma is pale malt. Mostly. Soft malt-accented body. Creamy. Not much hop but generally clean. Good pale lager.

Pale gold, and bright, light malt and grain character, nice balanced brew, if not a whack of acidity.

500mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with straw, with some butter, and boiled vegetables. Flavour is along the same lines, with straw, boiled vegetables, and rice. A bit of butter. Not too offensive, but it's certainly a poor industrial piss lager.

Can. Hazy yellow color with white head. Aroma is sweaty, wet cardboard. Taste is the same. Not great.

(500ml can bought in North Korea) Pours slightly hazy golden with small but persistent white head. Aroma is corn with candy and pear drop notes. Palate is reasonable, with light to medium body and good carbonation. Taste is not great. It’s a bit watery and thin. There’s some slight tart notes, there’s some candy sweetness and there’s some bitterness. But they are all a bit odd and don’t work well together. Pretty bad.

Plastikflasche (1,25 l) aus dem Kwangbok Street Shopping Center, Pyongyang. - Goldgelb, schwach trüb. - In der Nase Holzleim, schwache unkrautartige Herbe und Anklänge an Keller und Plastik. - Antrunk schlank und matt hellmalzig-süßlich mit chemischen Fehlaromen (Plastikkleber). Brauseartig dünn. Die üble holzig-herbe Bittere mündet in einen fiesen, ungesund kellerig-muffigen Nachtrunk. - Schmeckt kaum wie Bier, jedenfalls nicht wie eins, das ich freiwillig trinken möchte. Ein weiterer Tiefpunkt der Braukunst aus Nordkorea. Was bin ich froh, daß ich dieses biertechnische Entwicklungsland bald verlassen darf ...
