330ml bottle pours a pale golden color with a fast dissipating white head that leaves no lacing on the glass. Aroma is grainy and hoppy. Taste is a sharp hop bitterness with a grainy malt sweetness. Light bodied with decent carbonation. A decent macro lager which is slightly better than some of the others out there.

330ml bottle. A pale clear yellow body, small white head, poor retention. Aroma of hay, grass, cereals and dust. Taste of lemonade, lots of cereals, grass, sweet & sour. Intense carbonation makes the lemonade impression even stronger. South Korea check.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow color. Very little head. Aroma is sour yeast. Flavor is similar, with grass note. Body was thin and slightly oily. I had this at a Korean restaurant in Seattle. When people say they "don’t like beer" this is what they’re talking about.

Beer flavored water...seriously. no aroma, no taste...Even the color is very light, noticed on pour, it seems more clear than golden...not horrendous, but there isn’t much here to taste or savor either.

500ml bottle. Very pale yellow color. No head, flat. Looks fizzy like lemonade. Malty, sweet, caramel, watery aroma. Malty, burnt sugar, papery and some weird sidetaste in flavor. Quite typical macrolager.

Almost no flavor. So little flavor it is not even bad. Got this in a case of 6 different asian beers for sale in xenos in Woerden.

Bottled. Pale yellow color with a small head and almost no lacing. Foam starts nice but diminished quickly. Aroma is weak, some hints of malt and cereals. Flavor is malty hints of corn. Mouthfeel is refreshing and short. No big deal.

Served from a bottle at a Korean restaurant in Colorado. It pours the standard straw yellow with a big white head that fizzles. The aroma was a bit above average with sweet, pale malts, barley, and something like grass. The body was light and smooth. The beer’s taste had a barley malt note with a medium slightly dry finish.

bottle courtesy of a soldier friend in Korea Poured a small white head with sparse lacing, transparent, fast rising carbonation, and a yellow hue. Aroma was malty and some corn. Flavor was malty, crisp and clean. Tingly mouthfeel. Nothing special here

Pours a clear golden straw with a white head. Nose opens up with sweet apple esters, cracker malt, and lots of grainy sweetness. A light skunk and sulfur to the aroma, maybe some grass as well. The flavor is quite sweet with a bit less pronounced sulfur character. Sweet grain dominates, there is a faint apple note, very minimal hops, and a bit of bread and cracker maltiness.
