Fogmag 7, a soft first pour brushed with melon and flowers

Melon and floral aroma, sweetness and acidity, and an unexpectedly weighty finish. Fogmag 7 opens a Daegu evening with shrimp minari jeon.

How does it taste?

Dailyshot records melon, flowers, deep aroma, weight, sweetness, acidity, and a long, harmonious fruit finish. Read beside the producer's wording, Fogmag 7's “light” quality belongs to its aromatic opening and does not mean a thin body throughout.

What pairs with it?

Minari is an aromatic Korean herb and minari jeon is a jeon made with it. Match shrimp jeon’s green aroma and savoriness with Fogmag 7’s melon, floral notes, sweetness, and acidity.

Melon and floral aroma lead to sweetness and acidity, with a heavier-than-expected finish. At 7% ABV and 500ml, Fogmag 7 is more complex than the producer’s “light and soft” description suggests. Masillog suggests shrimp minari jeon.
