Asian – Best Beer Blog

I purchased the other beer at the Super G Mart international grocery store. This is Kabrew Kumiho IPA. This IPA is produced near the Cheongpyeong-myeon, Sangcheon-ri, and Sangsaek-ri, with Cheongusan Mountain to the west and Bulgi Mountain to the east. This IPA is 6.3% ABV. This beer pours a deep orange color with a light one-finger beige head. The aroma is bitter, orange, hops, and malty. This smells like a more traditional IPA. The taste is orangey, light pine, bitter, and hoppy. It has an overly bitter flavor that as this beer warms that bitterness intensifies. This has a medium feeling in the mouth. This IPA has a somewhat harsh bitter finish. The aftertaste is a bitter orange that does linger. This has a harsh flavor that is not good. Kumiho IPA is a low D-. I nearly finished this beer. By the time I was 90% through this IPA, the bitterness had become too strong, and I just couldn’t finish. I really don’t recommend Kumiho IPA. Don’t drink this! Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Yesterday I went to Alley 51 at Super G Mart in Pineville, NC a part of Charlotte. Alley 51 is a food hall/food court with mainly Asian food. Then I went through the Super G Mart and found Seongsu-Dong American Pale Ale brewed in Seoul South Korea. Seongsu is described as the Brooklyn, NYC of Seoul. This Ale is 4.5%. I haven’t seen many Pale Ales that low in ABV. This pale ale pours a deeper shade of yellow with a two-finger thin white head. The aroma is sweet with citrus fruit, and this has a decent hop aroma. The flavor is semi-sweet, citrusy, bitter/hoppy, and has a very light bread note. I found that interesting but out of place in a pale ale. This has a lighter feel to the mouth. This beer comes to a citrusy finish with a bit of hoppy flavor. The aftertaste is semi-sweet with citrus and some hops. But this does linger before fading like a song on the radio. I’ve never had South Korean beer or craft beer. This was good and sessionable. I give this an A. I almost gave it an A+ but the bread note knocked back it just a millimeter. I would recommend this beer if you can find it. It’s good. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
