330 ml bottle. Pale golden body with an OK white head. Almost no aroma at all. Thin, watery, weak flavor. Almost a bit sour, and frankly I think that’s the hop.

2008 Bottle - Bought at the asian market on a whim, pours almost clear yellow, small head, aroma is sweet rice? totally mellow, slightly bitter lager, slightly sweet malt, this is better than bud light becuase it makes you worldly...

bottle - Wait, the commercial description actually brags about adding rice? Ok then... It’s just another crappy, thin, yellow, fizzy, weak, watery, adjunct laden, pale lager. On the plus side I thought it was almost inoffensive and thus better than Cafri.

My first South Korean rating. 12oz bottle from "Chicago Foods". Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Nose is typical grainy malt of pale lagers. Prickly carbonation. Expected flavors of a pale lager, but slightly better than Miller/Bud. Slight sweetness in the malt. Clean finish. No strange "off flavors" (skunk grain or ash) like most American macros. Not as bad as I expected. To my good friends in South Korea (Rebecca and Jorge) this OB’s for you!

I love Korean food, but this doesn’t come close to being good. It’s only a little better than Bud Light.
