Bolppalgan Makgeolli 7

볼빨간막걸리 7

ABV 7%
Volume 500ml

Description

But-Dream Brewery in Busan's Buk-gu district uses glutinous rice and nuruk to craft this 7% makgeolli - the lighter counterpart to their 10% expression. The glutinous rice base gives the aroma a toasted-mochi richness with faint vanilla and a clean mineral note from the purified water. On the palate, the body is medium and cohesive, with a rounded sweetness that stays compact rather than spreading thin. The finish is moderate with a pleasant chewiness from the glutinous rice starch. Serve at 6-10°C. Pairs well with tteok-galbi grilled meat patties where both share a glutinous textural affinity, or spicy jjambbong seafood noodle soup where the 7% body tempers chili heat.
