Order comes first
Official guidance says to pour the upper layer first and then shake and mix the remainder. It does not mean one bottle contains different drinks; it gives two ways to look at the same bottle.
Comparison is personal; guidance is factual
There is no evidence to state acidity or aroma beyond the producer’s wording. The contrast between the two glasses is an order a reader may compare, not a fixed taste ranking.
The shared word does not make one drink
Gyeongju Gyodong Beopju is a separate national intangible heritage. This story does not call the modern 2012 Gyeongju Beopju Rice Makgeolli its direct heir or the same product.
