OB Blue

Brewed by Oriental Brewery (InBev)
Style: Pale Lager
Seoul, South Korea

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

22oz bottle. Pours fizzy yellow with lots of carbonation and a white head. Aroma is of nothing. I got absolutely nothing out of it, like water. Taste is of corn, malt, and water. Watery mouthfeel. This is the closest to water I have ever gotten to. Waste of money

0.33l bottle @ Hyundai Hotel, Ulsan South Korea. A clear and pale body with a small quickly clenching to the sides of the glass just off-white lager head. Thin fruity-watery hints and some weak hops in the aroma. Average carbonated and with a thin and watery mouthfeel. Hints of burned malts in the flavor, some thin dusty hops and the whole thing ends extremely, and then I really mean extremely watery. Just like having a glass of tap water. No extreme bad flavors, even though I did not care to much for the burned tones. Drinkable as a thirst quencher.

Fruity aroma. Crisp flavour. Some stale malty aftertaste. Barely any carbonation.

Draught at Korean restaurant. Faint maizy aroma, slight watery flavour, no finish. The commercial description is a lie. If you are in a Korean restaurant and they have this or water, drink water.

Bottle: Had this one years ago: White head on top of a clear yellow colored beer. Aroma is the typical pilsner smell, maybe a bit dull and soft with hints of hops and malts, but light. The taste is also pretty light and dull, low bitterness. Some hops and malts, bit watery, low body. Guess you can better leave it on the shelve.

Bottle in Ran, Great Marlborough St, London. Pours pale yellow, foamy white head. Nose is cereal malt, sweetish corn. Taste is watery, light, bit of crisp hop, corn.

Bottle from Tesco New Malden. Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. The aroma is of malt, and some grain, the taste is watery, grain, corn, and a very strange aftertaste that is almost a sour.

12oz Bottle, at Sun and Moon Korean Restaurant - East Providence, RI. This was much rougher than Hite and it shows in the score. Messy, lightly fusely flavor, with lots of the weird fruity, floral, gummy off-flavors that I hate in so many pale lagers. Texture and body were flabby and weak. Not good. Stick with Hite.

I like OB. It’s the best Korean beer. It’s good for a lager. Has some malty flavours like you’d find in ale. Can be found in Korean restaurants, such as Shilla in Glasgow.
