I had this from a big plastic bottle...maybe 2 liters. And the beer fit its packaging - cheap, flat, and generally only worthwhile. My body did the recycling of the beer for me, and I imagine the recycled product didn’t come out much worse than the raw material that fueled it. The beer is pale. And flat. And the aroma that is there isn’t good. The flavor is a little worse. A touch of corn sweetness, but a weird chemical-ness that does not belong in any beer anywhere prevails. Steer clear of this stuff.

Brings back memories of my USAF days in S. Korea, warming up in a bar after an icy cold day on the flight line. I didn’t care for beer back then, but the batter fried octopus tasted great after a few pints of OB.

Macro crap from Korea. Relatively inconspicuous and not really offensive. Just bland. Had this in a bottle from a Korean BBQ place in NYC. No real malt or hop flavor to speak of. Just weak.

The flagship beer in South Korea and it’s a shame because it’s terrible. Tastes just like a Budweiser.

Looks smells and tastes like any other macro pale lager. There is really nothing else to say about it.
