[edit] Brands

OB Lager

OB Lager is a pale, 4.7% A.B.V. beer served on draft and in bottles all over Korea. Like many Asian beers which use rice in the brewing process it has a flavour reminiscent of Bohemian-style beers such as Budweiser.

Cass Lager

OB bought the Cass brand from Jinro-Coors in 1994.

OB Pale Ale

OB Pale Ale is mostly know for being served on draft and is popular for its dark bitter taste. It contains a dark amber color. Unlike its Lager counterpart, OB Pale Ale contains 7.2% alcohol.

Cafri

Cafri (A.B.V. 4%) is perhaps the lightest of all mainstream Korean beers and is more reminiscent of Corona and Sol than the typical European lagers. It is widely available in clear 330ml long-neck bottles but lags far behind OB, Cass and Hite in terms of popularity.
