While far from being a great beer, I am quite happy with it because...

1) it's got a little more flavor to it than all the other Korean beers.

2) it gives me a buzz faster = the less of it I have to drink.

3) I don't have to pay the outrageous prices for imported beer (which is extortion).

While not the ideal beer, it's the best considering what else is out there.

I disagree about the "flavour" part. I think Hite's Prime Max has a fuller-flavour and a much better hop aroma than Cass Red. Cass Red just tastes stronger and sweeter.

My first impression of Cass Red was it was an improvement on Cass. It's still not an improvement on Korea's other improvement beers though.

I like it as a kick start - chase a can of the red with a liter of of the hite prime - it's a prefect weekday evening and a good diversion from the Chivas, which has been giving me nightmares lately. I dunno why...

It won't by my "regular" beer if better options are around, but if I'm gonna buy Korean, it'll be Red from now on.

Wow! Interesting results so far. Nobody has given Cass Red a thumbs down.

BTW, I have a theory about Korean beer. Is it possible that the reason it so light is because it's meant to go with Korean food (which is spicy). I don't think a heavy lager or stout would go well with a side dish of deok pok gi.

If I could vote again, Cass Red would be a no-no. Had some last night, and it wasn't long before I switched back to Prime Max. The difference was a lot more than I expected. Prime Max is the closest you can get to a real beer in Korea.

Max def. tastes better, but since I'd rather not drink any of the domestic offerings, I'll be the Red so I don't have to suffer too long to get the buzz on.

There are beers you buy the weekend after payday, and beers you buy the weekend BEFORE payday. This is a beer you buy the weekend BEFORE payday- if you know what I mean. Wink
