Got one can on Korean flight KE018. A typical bland mass brew, nothing special.

330ml bottle - kind of hard to nail this one down, as it is called 'Max Cream All Malt Beer' on the label - so I guess a new listing is in order.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly bone-white head, which leaves a bit of blotchy lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.
It smells of grainy pale malt, a not so subtle corn and rice sweetness, cheap fermenting green grapes, and some musty, leafy, and weedy hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet graininess, pithy corn husks and rice patties, buttery saltine crackers, stale opened white wine, and some now ethereal musky, musty, and earthy hoppiness, I suppose.
The carbonation is quite soft and somewhat beguiling in its come-hither frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight for the style denoted here, and generally smooth, with a touch of well, yes, creaminess. It finishes off-dry, the mutt-ish malt, and nascent phenolic character holding court.
Overall, not nearly as bad as I was expecting, the heft, and mostly inoffensive nature of it both contributing factors. I'm not entirely certain about the 'All Malt Beer' claim, but the 'Cream' one is more valid here than in many of the so-called cream ales that I have come across.
