A crisp rice lager-style beer with an added kick from local citrus. We used two varieties of local oranges; the small tangerine “gyul” - and the larger sized “hallaobong” oranges - both famous for their distinct flavors and aroma.

Pours a really pale yellow with a generous soapy white head that actually retains for a bit and falls to a nice cap.
The smell is odd initially It's got a bit of a papery or kindergarten starchy paste note that I think is from the rice? The citrus is very pleasant - a mixture of sweet orange and tangerine. A little floral scent but it's pretty mild. And the paper/paste does get hidden.
The flavor is actually pretty nice. Slightly sweet orange and tangerine that carries through well after the swallow. There's a bit of pithy bitterness. Light floral happiness at the end - that plus the citrus provide pleasant aromatics. There's very little malt - what there is I'd call crackery.
Very light and quite dry. The citrus flavors carry long after the swallow.
Hmmm...I actually kinda like this beer. It's light and refreshing, reasonably flavorful, and I think it's pretty spot on for the style. For a completely random grab, I'm pleasantly surprised.

Murky yellowy golden body with two fingers of pearl white head. Aromas of giant mandarin orange, and tangerine with rice and flowers. Taste starts the same, but then the rice has a large paper note that covers a lot, it's kind of hard to ignore, same with booze leakage on finish. Feel is very rice forward but not much else, thins through the sip, not the most crisp rice lager

12oz can from HalfTime. Pale golden, one finger initial foamy white head. Light citrusy aroma with sweet grains. Taste is citrus zest, grainy, tangerine. Finishes dry.
