I am trying to see how foreigners perceive Korean beer taste wise.
Do people of certain nationalities tend to dislike it more. I could put like, as I am sure there are those who like it. I have nothing against people like it. I have talked to some who like the stuff. I do like the Cass Red which is new and Stout, but I generally don't fancy Korean beer, and wanted to see how it is generally received by Koreans and foreigners on Dave's.

I'm a Saffer, and I don't mind it.

Mind you, South African beer is not that good unless on tap I think. Kinda weird as South African Breweries is something like the second-largest beer company/producer in the world or some crap.

haha. agreed.

I think its very safe to assume that no one LOVES Korean beer as its not better than anyone's beer offered in their home country.

More interesting 'do you drink it anyways?'. Of course, yes, of course.

There needs to be a poll option for those who don't mind it. I don't mind it at all. In fact, IMHO I think it tastes much better than the cheap, mass-produced American brews back at home like Bud, Coors, or Magnum malt liquor.

But again, just like music and TV shows, everyone's taste is different.

Yeah, certainly I don't place Bud etc ahead of the likes of Prime Max. Still, the quality is not good. But they're always changing it and bringing in alterations so I guess it's only a matter of time before things start improving.

I think Korean beer tastes the way it does in part to the fact that Koreans rarely seem to just enjoy a beer on its own. There's always some food involved and I think most of the food they eat goes best with light beer - especially the fruit. Cool

American microbrews produce the best variety of good beer in the world, hard to come to Korea after that Sad Well at least I can get 630cc bottles of Tsingtao for 1,800 won. That's drinkable...

But if you really hate Asian beer, ya gotta homebrew.

Every country I've been to has managed to come up with a nice drinkable beer except South Korea. Even North Korea's come up with Daedong Mekju. Even North Korea!!!

Oops... How could I forget. Oh well.... I wonder if Europeans would prefer Korean beer or Americans. I would think a German would have a hard time with South Korean beer. I do like Japanese beer. I did also try a Vietnamese beer and liked it. Is there a reason why some find South Korean beer so harsh on the stomach? What is added to the beer?

Avoid Taiwan! Korean beer is at least drinkable. The beer in Taiwan is simply poisonous.

I second that. Taiwanese beer is MUCH worse than Korean beer.

The only halfway decent beer in all of Asia is the North Korean beer and Tsingtao (a Chinese beer made by Germans).

Asia is not a 'great beer' continent by any stretch of the imagination. To expect South Korea to be an oasis for it is a real high unachievable expectation.
