Description

Mindeulredaepo (Dandelion Daepo) is a 13% ABV cheongju from Pearsangmyeon Brewing in Gyeonggi-do, made with rice, nuruk, and dandelion — an unusual botanical choice that gives this bottle a distinct herbal identity. The dandelion introduces a gentle, green bitterness that threads through the grain sweetness, preventing the palate from feeling flat. The nose opens with clean grain and a faint wild-herb note, grassy and slightly medicinal. On the palate, the body is medium-light and polished, with the dandelion's herbaceous quality emerging mid-sip and carrying through a moderately long, dry finish with a pleasant bitter tail. Winner of the 2011 Korea Traditional Liquor Awards Grand Prize (yakju/cheongju) and 2008 SWSC Bronze. Designated a 2014 Visiting Brewery. Serve at 10-12°C with namul platter where the herbal drink and seasoned wild greens share botanical kinship, or alongside gwangeo-hoe where the green bitterness provides a refreshing counterpoint to the fish's richness.
