It tastes sour and watery, and smells like vinegar.

[same question (answered)](https://www.reddit.com/r/korea/comments/8mgkt1/my_boyfriend_bought_this_liquor_in_korea_and_cant/). Should we trust the source?

@user3664452 The Reddit post looks like an empty bottle held by a female; OP’s has contents and [appears to be] held by a male :)

@Oliver I didn't want to question the OP. I meant: can I use Reddit as a reliable source for my answer? (Incidentally, from the answer by farmersteve I guess that, at least in this case, Reddit was a reliable source)
