Horangi Fresh Makgeolli

Description

Baehyejung Doga in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do — a 2016 Visiting Brewery with the 2016 Korea Traditional Liquor Quality Awards Excellence Award — crafts this aromatic 6% fresh makgeolli with rice, erythritol, yeast, koji, lactic acid, and synthetic fragrance (wheat-derived). The aroma is deliberately lively: a floral-fruity bouquet rises immediately after pouring, suggesting white grape and honeydew over a lactic base. On the palate, the body is medium-light and creamy with erythritol providing sweetness without heaviness. The finish is bright and crisp with a lingering aromatic floral tail. Serve very cold at 4-6°C. Pairs beautifully with raw fish (gwangeo-hoe) where the aromatic lift complements wasabi, or with haemul-twigim seafood tempura.
