Kukmin IPA
The Booth Brewing (더부스)

RSG 17 grand tasting, Flip top thanks Ron. Golden pour with small foamy head. Citrusy, lemon hops and sweet malt. More of the sweet malt in the taste, hops at the back for a mild bite.

 

The bottle says this is 6.5% abv, not 7%. Pours very yellow for an IPA with a creamy head. Smells yummy- fruity with apricot and passion fruit. Taste slightly follows the nose with some unexpected bitterness. Feels medium bodied. Finished fairly dry. Overall a pleasant surprise from South Korea and I hope to see more beers of this caliber from the craft beer scene here.

I just had one in SK at the hotel bar. I was pleasantly impressed with this beer!

Canned 6/11/19. Brewed here in Eureka. Pours gold with white head, some lacing. Mostly tropical, citrus, herbal tea, with some seriously funky sweat/piss notes, trace amounts of honeyed grain peak through here and there. Slightly sweet, watery finish. Very low bitterness. A tame ipa with an odd hop profile and lackluster mouthfeel, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Pours a golden yellow with thin foaming. I get a honeydew melon note on the aroma. Pleasing bitterness with a piney note. I liked it. Tried this from a can, not bottle.

The color is pale yellow with a slight haze. The flavor is pleasantly hoppy with very slightly sweet, citrus finish. For a brewery I associate with more unusual flavors, I was pleased with their take on a straight IPA.

 

A decent IPA from S. Korea, even though the bottling date was 4/5/2017. It is now 3/23/2018. The hops could be more prominent, but they have held up over the past year. It's cloudy and a golden yellow. A thin white head that disappeared quickly to a thin white surface. It smelled like canned peaches, melon, and slightly floral. A medium body, with a sweet peach and subdued hop flavor profile; perhaps some resiny hops too. A slight, yet balanced bitter/sweet aftertaste.
I'd like to try it fresh, it may be better.

Bottle to glass, mango amber, slightly cloudy, half inch head, medium lacing.
Pineapple, honey, hoppy and resin.
Light carbonation, pine and resin.
Overall, good IPA.

 

 

 

 

Had this bad boy straight out of the fermenter at their new brewing facility in Eureka, CA. It looks. smells. and tastes like grapefruit juice mascarading as a beer. Pouring a thick rich yellow that you cannot see through, with a thin white head. It smells like citrus oils and fills your palette with bitter sweet citrus that is rich and all consuming. A sipping beer that grows more complex as it warms up. It is a sort of Citra hop wine. At it's peak, which for me came about as it began to approach room temp, it offered the taste and feel of a delicious white grapefruit juice with a sort of malty richness that carried the bitter citrus peel note around my palette in the best of ways. Can't wait to try their next batch.
