Bottle. Wow, this was surprisingly not good. Pale yellow pour, minimal head. Watery all around in aroma and taste. Some metallic corn/rice flavors. A little sweet. Tasted sort of okay after eating really spicy Korean food, but that’s about it.

50cl bottle. Really not that bad. Light, refreshing flavour. Pretty standard pale lager except not loaded with adjunct. Certainly not something you should hunt down, but not a bad choice.

Appearance: Pours a clear, pale yellow body with a shamefully thin, white head. Smell: Vague light pale malt nose with a cereal sweetness to it. Taste: Light pale malts with the faintest hint of grain and a single, solitary drop of honey sweetness. No real hop character though beyond an altogether mild bitterness. Finishes crisp and clean (as there wasn’t anything really there to begin with). Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Ugh. Hite doesn’t exactly represent the height of lager brewing.

From a 12oz can - Pours a clear light pale yellow. Not pretty at all. No carbonation, no lacing . Smells of corn and very light malts. First sip is almost flavorless with just a tad of hops and malts …almost water like. I cannot imagine consuming this product.

had this next to an OB in a Korean BBQ place on 32nd street in NYC. Lots of rice in aroma and flavor. Slightly more offensive then OB Korean lager, but still better than a Bud. Pretty poor.
