This was the "Go-To" beveage in downtown Songtan, Korea outside the gates of Osan AB! Of course, it could be the infamous suspect Korean alcohol by volume control that made them work, especally if you got ahold of the fabled "magic" bottle! If you did luck out, this was the greatest beverage ever made...ice cold, this brew was the stuff legends were made of! On the flipside, I suffered through several bottles and only received a headache for my troubles! Only found it once stateside and their export version wasn't bad, bottom line, I wouldn't turn one down should I ever find another, if that means anything!

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.
