Pyeongyang Genuine Draft

North Korea is advertising its first beer. I’m not quite sure if it’s the same beer that I sampled on my securely guided, heavily fortified tour of North Korea last year, but off the top of my head I’d predict it to be a blend of communism, sweat siphoned from a Kim-Jong Il (lil’ Kim) treadmill session (stolen by one of the cheerleaders), and delicious alcohol. Normally I would have other mildly amusing things to say about this historic occasion, but I think that a commenter on the Freakonomics blog says it better than I can:

Gold-bronze hue. Sweet scents of peach nectar with a wisp of tree barks. Creamy entry with continued pear notes and distinct oaky overtones mingle with an uplifting menthol nuance. Perfectly balanced with creamy flavors of black cherry and blueberry supported by vibrant acidity and big refined grass clippings. Tart, prickly finish resounding with toasted oak impressions of our beloved leader.

PGD is a pretty uninspired effort by me to come up with a funny name for this beer – anyone help me out?
