Description

Ungok Doga, an artisan craft brewery in central Ulsan, combines domestic rice and glutinous rice with nuruk and yeast to create this 8% makgeolli named after the golden persimmon. The aroma carries notes of ripe persimmon skin, warm rice bran, and a light vanilla nuance from the nuruk. On the palate, the body is pillowy and medium-full, with a round sweetness that recalls honey-drizzled injeolmi rice cake. The finish is soft and gently drying with a faint almond-skin bitterness. Serve at 6-10°C. Wonderful with pajeon scallion pancake where the rich body complements crispy edges, or with ganjang-gejang raw crab where sweetness balances brine.
