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.
A: The pour is a pale yellow color with an initially large white head that soon dies off.
S: A moderate skunk and sulfur aroma to the beer, but overall it’s light and sweet. Plenty of rice and a mild floral note that almost resembles honey. Some hints of straw and wet grass on the back end.
T: A fairly light flavor overall with some pale malts and plenty of rice. Decently sweet, but fairly crisp and refreshing, especially when it is cold. Maybe a touch watery.
M: The body is certainly quite light and the carbonation is moderate.
O: I didn’t really see too much wrong with this one. It of course wasn’t my favorite, but it was light and refreshing.
This is a pretty plain beer, maybe even worse than the Cass Fresh. Good thing this was the last plain lager of the festival I needed.
I stumbled across a Javelina in the desert. It proceeded to piss into the wind...and beyond my control I ended up with a light spray landing on my taste buds. And low and behold it tasted better than a Bud light. Indeed so.
Clear deep yellow with a white head. Corny aroma. Sweet corn malt with a clean crisp watery finish.
330ml bottle!
The beer in glass is pale yellow with small head. The smell is surprisingly hoppy fresh and corny. Starts very mild and sweet hoppy, again a little corny. The aftertaste is very short, drawn, mild and somewhat artificial.
Seoul Garden, Ktown, NY, NY: Pours an extreme pale with a white head. Aroma of adjuncts and all that. There are a few notes of beer in this, but overall, you get a grainy pale lager without any real redeeming quality. I mean it is easy to drink, but I got to say it doesn’t even go all that well with kimchi.
I think this maybe South Koreas Coors light.Poors light yellow,small white head.Very light beer with just alittle sweetness.Good not great.
I have had this many times, so it can’t be that nasty, but it isn’t anything special. This has a nice pour, big golden pour, big frothy lager head. The taste has mostly light crispy malts coming through, pretty good for an asian lager. Very drinkable, but nothing special or leaving an impression. This is good with sushi, but only because the taste is so light and non-offensive, but on it’s own, that’s what hurts this.
Bottle, 0.33l. Yellow color with small white head. Aroma watery, hops and bread. Taste, bread, roasted corn, malt, short bittersweet finish.
Bottle- The look is a typical yellow with a light head. It had that bland beer aroma. The taste was nondescript, but was somehow a bit refreshing. The beer is drinkable and goes good with Korean food, as it help cleanse the taste buds. OB and the now defunct Crown Beer were the only choices when I first went to Korea. OB has survived and holds its own against new Korean beers and imports now available.
Appearance: Light golden, clear. Lots of white head.
Aroma: Grains and rice.
Taste: Watery, a bit of alcohol. Some "beer" flavours, but not much.
Info: 330ml bottle, 27/7-2010
Very very watery and not very good. It is a lot like bud light. Serving: Bottle
It’s light-golden with a white head and the aroma has notes of perfumed fruit, light cabbage and malt. The flavour is thin/weak and has a light sweetness and a light bitterness and notes of malt and perfumed fruits.
Bottle 330ml.
Clear light yellow color with a average, frothy to creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, toasted, vegetable, light to moderate hoppy, grass, light citrus. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration, acrid bitter, sour malt notes. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20100629]
Bottle, 4.4%. Clear yellow colour. Small white head. The flavour is grainy, seems to have a hint of alcohol even though the ABV is not so high. Sourish grain in the finish.
(bottle, 33cl) Clear, pale golden colour with a fluffy white foam. Sweetish malty and slightly grainy nose with a touch of banana (yes, it is not a Hefeweizen), also traces plastic and ascorbic notes. Moderately sweet flavour, light bodied with a quite flat carbonation. Bland pale Lager style with a tart note and hints of banana towards the slim and slightly corny malty and slightly ascorbic and tart finish with a very discreet level of bitterness. 08.VI.10
bottle - Typical asian brew, sweet taste with hints of rice and corn, good for downing large amounts of bulgoki and kimchee but that’s about it. I put away lots of this stuff (OB lager) when I was stationed in Korea in the mid ’80’s.
Well, light in all senses. Color, aroma and flavor. Carbonation is high. Some papery note in aftertaste with lemon.
This must be the Bud Light of Korea. Very crisp and clean with not much of a taste, except for a little bit of rice.
Took me forever to find this in the db. Pours gold. Nose is sweet. Taste is sweeter than hite, but aftetrtaste
Bottle. Clear yellow colour with small creamy white mostly lasting head. Weak malty aroma with grainy notes. Sweet flavor. Watery palate.
07/03 0.33 l bottle from Asian store in Mitte, Berlin. My first South Korean beer. It poured pale golden body with medium sized head. Sweet honey malt aroma, grainy with notes of rice. Flavor was typically thin, sweetish with rice, grainy malt and slightly lemony. Shorter sweetish finish which becomes bitterish at the very end. Boring and watery pale lager, although nothing unpleasant.
Found at some Asian store somewhere between Mitte and Marcus Bräu. Poured a golden-yellow body, medium sized thick white head. Eggy nose some vitamins, fruity and yoghurty. Light, slightly yoghurty taste, rice, sweet, very light hop aftertaste. Eh. New country?
Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is pale golden. Aroma and taste are malt and hops. Average lager.
malty,hoppy,yellow,white foam, lightly bitter, lightly sour, light body, thin feel, lively.
Bottle from a small thai-shop near Cph. Station. Frothy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty grainy aroma. Almost no hops. Light bitter almost flavorless. Short finish. Watery palate. All and all not terrible considering origine.
Bready and light malty aroma. Large, frothy, white head. Fair lacing. Clear, light yellow body. Light bitter flavor. Light to medium palate, with a watery texture.
