History

Chilsung Cider was the first soft drink produced in Korea. In 1950 the Dongabang Beverage partnership was formed in order to create and sell soft drinks in a rapidly modernizing country. Several mergers and name changes later, the Lotte company now markets many other soft drinks such as Milkis and 2% DBH, but Chilsung Cider is still quite popular.

Review

Mmm. A lemony spritzer. I'm not sure why they translated the name of this drink as "cider", its really just a lemon-lime soda. It tastes a lot like a Sprite or 7up but with a syrupy aspect to it. It has a light soda water sour zing, with sugary syrupy lemon lime following behind.

I like the refreshing lemon & lime flavors, but this is just too syrupy to be a favorite.
