About the Jin Lager
The Jin Lager is a collaboration between Amazing Brewing Company and Ottogi, a classic food brand similar to Campbell’s Soup in North America. Ottogi makes a ramyun call Jin, which was the inspiration for this brew. The food company collaborations are interesting, especially with Ottogi, which I mainly know for ramyun and curry. On the front of the can, it says 순한맛, which means “strong taste.”
Jin Lager Tasting Notes
I didn’t taste the ramyun inspiration, but there definitely was a strong malty taste! The beer was also an interesting color–a deep amber. It looked borderline red, similar to spicy ramyun. Reading that it was a lager, I immediately thought perhaps Amazing added a deep orange food coloring. Aroma was intense malt as well. I am not accustomed to deep amber and intense maltiness being associated with lagers. The Jin Lager was very thought-provoking because of its unexpected character.
Would I Drink Jin Lager Again?
I would definitely drink this novelty beer again–but not regularly. Purchased at a local CU corner store in a “4 for 10” or four beers for ￦10,000 promotion. Worth a try!
