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.

A neighbor gave me one of these beers. Good thing because lagers are not my style. Just got back from a bike ride and figured it’d be a good time to try it. I will sum this review up by saying if it was any worse it would be flushed by now.

When there is nothing else available while in the RoK, you drink OB or soju. Think the bud for Korea.

Loved this beer when I was stationed in Korea. At 10¢ a 16oz glass (back in the early 70's) it was a great deal.
