I was back in Korea ...I'm with you on the Cass Red. I was back in Korea last week after a three year absence and thought (foolishly) that my memories of bad Korean beer were overblown. WI was wrong. I also made the mistake of buying a few tins of Cass Red and sat down with my father-in-law (no slouch in the beer drinking department, he) to give it a try. <BR/><BR/>Seriously, worst. beer. ever. Cass Red tastes like they just brewed regular Cass and then added a bit of pure alcohol post-fermentation to give it its 6.9% alcohol volume. I consider myself pretty tolerant about the constellation of tastes beers can have, but when I crack open a cold one, I'm not thinking "Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!"<BR/><BR/>Neither of us could finish the first glass and so we ended up cleansing our palates with the water-like qualities of a plastic liter bottle of Hite (which is also a new development, and an utterly awesome one at that!). <BR/><BR/>Also, is it me or is Busan firmly under the thumb of the mighty Hite chaebol? Every restaurant I went down there, it was the only brew available. Or maybe I just wasn't going to the vigorous and youthful joints...Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09759067282582187193noreply@blogger.com
