Notes:
I got this beer at a really cool Korean restaurant in Philly. We placed a take-out order and I was hanging out waiting for the food to be prepared. Seeing a nice empty bar with a friendly looking bartender, I sat my ass down and had a nice chat with the Bartender.

Our nice chat quickly evolved from small talk to Philly beers. Being an American-Korean, he knew a fair bit about the Korean beer scene and how it has evolved. I asked him if he had any Korean beer on tap or bottle and he gave me this stuff.

First thing I noticed was how thick the bottle is. Apparently, the thicker glass keeps the beer cooler longer. So there was some thought about making this stuff. The beer is light tasting, and reminds me of a better, much sweeter version of moose head. Too bad they used rice though. Apparently it didn't have it before the Inbev buyout. 

Either way, this is a nice light tasting lager and worth a 6 pack. If you can find it.
