Description
Sunseong Wang Plum Yeongnongjohap Brewery in Chungcheongnam-do adds 1% maesil (green plum) extract to a domestic rice fermentation, introducing a tart citric lift that brightens the creamy body without overwhelming it. The plum note sits in the finish - a quick flash of sour-sweet that pulls the palate forward and away from any cloying residue. At 6% ABV it stays light and sessionable, and the 2012 Korea Woorisool Top Prize in fresh makgeolli proves the formula punches above its simplicity. Serve at 5-7°C with godeungeo-gui (grilled mackerel) where the plum acidity cuts through the fish oil, or with yuk-hoe (Korean beef tartare) where the tartness complements the sesame and pear dressing.
