Make mine Makgeolli

When I visited my brother in Korea, I fell in love with Maekgeolli. I liked the crisper, almost tart stuff, with more carbonation. Now I'm trying to buy it in Korean markets here in LA, and while they've got a lot of it, I can't seem to navigate the varieties.
I've found that one of the Jinros, the "Fresh Draft" version, is pretty tasty. My brother tells me that the "dong" versions are thicker, and I hate the chalkiness that seems to come with that. I don't really like the sweetest ones (especially the ones with aspartame — too much like diet Coke).
Korean-Americans, please hope me! Include pictures if you can, as my hangul is pretty dicey once it gets into the display scripts used by beverage makers.

Response by poster: I support that, but I want to be drunk on makgeolli sooner than a week from now.
