Description

Goesan Sejong Chal Corn Traditionalju is a 6% ABV grain-based brew from Chungcheongbuk-do built around glutinous corn (chal oksusu) and white rice, yielding a savory, toasted grain profile that sets it apart from fruit-forward or purely rice-based traditional drinks. The ingredient list reveals an unusually layered formulation - nuruk, yeast, enzyme preparations, gardenia colorant, herb flavoring, and nurungji aroma compound all contribute to a complexity that belies the modest alcohol level. Citric acid and lactic acid add subtle tartness that prevents the sweetness from dominating, while the nurungji-like roasted finish lends a comforting, almost nostalgic depth. Selected as a 2015 Visiting Brewery, the producer in Goesan County represents the region's commitment to craft-scale grain fermentation using local corn varieties.
