Description

The apple-accented entry in Cheongsannoksu Brewery's Pyeonbaeksup lineup adds apple concentrate to a rice-and-nuruk base, creating a fruit-lifted makgeolli at a light 5.2% ABV. The apple addition works more as a brightening agent than a dominant flavor - it introduces a crisp acidity and gentle fruitiness that cuts through the rice creaminess without overwhelming the grain character. The aroma opens with green apple skin and a faint cider-like tang over steamed rice. On the palate, the body is light and smooth, with the apple acidity creating a cleaner, more refreshing trajectory than the Sunsuryeong expressions. The finish is short and snappy, with a pleasant apple-skin tartness that resets the palate. Oligosaccharide and aspartame provide sweetness control. The 2017 Chajaganeun Yangjojang brewery sits in Jangseong, where hinoki (pyeonbaek) forests define the landscape. Compared to the sparkling version, this reads lighter and more fruit-forward, suited for warm-weather drinking. Serve at 4-6°C with fresh ssam (lettuce wraps) where the apple brightness mirrors the green freshness, or alongside dak-gangjeong (sweet-spicy fried chicken) where the tart apple note cuts through the sticky glaze.
