Craftworks Halla Mountain Golden Ale
A small bottle from Jason's near NCCU, drunk at home several days ago. Aroma: citrus. Appearance: semi-opaque lemon amber, copious white froth rapidly dissipating. Palate: light-bodied and slick, average carbonation, astringent finish. Taste: heavily bitter, more citrus, sherbet lemon drops. Quite refreshing.

Die deutliche fruchtige Säure ist gut eingebunden. Schlanker Körper, schön trocken. im Abgang mild fruchtiger Hopfen, leicht holzig, etwas aschig; leicht seifig. - Schön mokkaartiges Stout mit ausgeprägter aber angenehmer fruchtiger Säure. Gut!

Craftworks Jirisan Moon Bear IPA
Taster at brew 3.15. Beautiful hoppy aroma, and the taste follows suit until the very bitter finish. It’s a shame as this was a few seconds away from a much higher rating.

Craftworks Geobukseon Brüworks Chocolate Stout
Chocolate and coffee aroma, with a bit of cocoa. Nice but not enough intense aroma. Pitch black, poor head. In taste also quite a few chocolate notes, not much of coffee. There is quite a lot of canal notes, not a very good feeling it gives. Mouth feel is neutral, might be much more full and thick. Leaves long chocolate aftertaste. Was expecting a bit more.

Fruity sweet aroma, fresh pineapples, pear and mango. There is unfortunately bit of butter in the nose, diacetyl. Dark amber color, very hazy. Tiny off-white head. In taste same notes as in aroma, except the butter. Quite hoppy, touch of caramel. Nice bitterness, maybe little too long. I don’t think there is 95 IBU. Pretty good one, worth trying.

Craftworks Namsan Pure Pilsner
Vom Faß im Brew 3.14, Seoul. - Blaßgelb, leicht trüb. - In der Nase feiner Aromahopfen: leichte Zitrone, etwas Pampelmuse. - Antrunk weich und mild malzsüß mit aromatischer Zitronenschale. Im weiteren Verlauf kippt die aromatische Hopfenherbe etwas ab: Zahnkrem und medizinisch-krautige Noten kommen hinzu. Gut rezent, eher dünner Körper. Noch bitterer aber eigenartig chloriger (?) Abgang. - Angenehm frisch und keß gehopft aber nicht frei von aromatischen Mängeln. Noch ausbaufähig.

This was a very good IPA it was light and refreshing and had some good hoppy notes that left no bitter aftertaste. It was very nice to drink 3 or 10 of these beers! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
