Old rating from 03-07-16 - Sampled in a Korean restaurant in NYC on my recent trip. The bottle label & appearance is the best thing about this beer. Pours a clear light golden with a medium white head. Aromas are grainy malt, straw & corn. Taste is light, sweet citrus, musky bready malt, and light corn. Light body & low carbonation. Overall, more excited by the country it's from & the bottle appearance than the beer itself
