Sinkability  I wouldnt drink this again if someone paid me to. The s-hite refrence was already used, so Ill just assume that the word hite is Korean for, nasty-ass crap in a bottle. (637 characters)RoyalT, Feb 22, 20043/5 rDev +17.6%bulldogg915, Nov 08, 20142.5/5 rDev -2%freshflesh, Feb 27, 20142.4/5 rDev -5.9%look: 2 | smell: 2 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2 | overall: 3poured from a large bottle into an 8 ounce glass.A - pale yellow in color, the head quickly dissipates leaving no lacing.S - a bit of a grainy rice smell.T - has a clean flavor with a touch of bitterness.M - crisp with a tight carbonation.D - it's refreshing with some korean food which is the only way that i've ever had it. it does its job, but it's not a beer to seek out for enjoyment on its own.

Overall: Not a whole lot to dwell on here, but this is better than almost any other Asian beer I've had. A strange colour (very yellow and radioactive-looking) but it's refreshing and just what I was after.

Picked up a while back from the Chi Yip asian supermarket in York. Cool & Fresh! The rear label mentions the use of Yakima hops.Poured into a straight pint glass. A clear pale-gold colour with decent carbonation. Forms a large head of white foam that lasts for a few minutes before reducing to a surface layer. Aroma of light malt with a faint hint of grain and a whiff of stewed leaves/veg.Tastes of light malt with a crisp, dry finish. Hints of stewed hops and subtle grain. A very mild bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is light, dry and tingly, with an insubstantial body. Aftertaste of faint stewed leaves and veg.Another bog-standard macro lager. It's relatively clean tasting and refreshing, but bland and dull. Wish they didn't mention Yakima hops on the label, it gets your hopes up that there might be some hoppy aroma. Couldn't really recommend unless there was nothing else available.

It is an unremarkable macro lager, and can vary from somewhat pleasant to nauseatingly bad depending on the setting. Hite is best enjoyed ice cold from a bottle, and preferably as an accompaniment to Korean bbq (spicy cuisine also works). Avoid the huge plastic "pitchers" of Hite if you see them. It doesn't taste nearly as good from the plastic, and can be absolutely gross if you encounter a particularly bad jug.I probably should have given Hite lower marks, as it really is not a good beer, but I associate many fond memories with this brew so that is undoubtedly influencing my opinion.

The watery light lager cuts the spicy gochujang that I lather all over the meat (galbi / bulgogi). My Korean girlfriend has shown me the ins and outs of proper Ktown bbqing and it has made me very happy. Initially, I thought "Wow, Hite is great!" It's not. It's one of those time and places beers that holds up quite poorly outside of it. One day when I loaded up on Hite at a local Ktown market - I learned the hard way.
First off, it's one of the lighest color beers I've ever seen. If you soaked a few grains of straw in glass of tonic water for an hour, the color would be unmistakeably Hite-ish. The smells would probably be similar too. The taste isn't terrible - it's watery, there's lil character but it is refreshing. At a Korean bbq you'll probably drink like 4 before you realize that it's not very good. But for those 4, at that bbq joint - Hite does the trick.

Different is good?This beer pours a clear, pale golden straw colour, with two flabby fingers of weakly foamy, and mostly thin, soapy dirty white head, which leaves some awkward splattered soap scum lace around the glass as it quickly melts away. It smells of musty, semi-sweet rice patties - all up in Uncle Ben's grill, a bit of grainy pale malt, sudsy detergent, and the hard water to go with it. The taste is mildly skunky stewed rice, a hint of veritable barley malt, a little bit of metallic stoniness, and rather ethereal herbaceous, weedy hops.The carbonation is thankfully low-key and restrained, the body medium-light in weight, thin, and fairly clammy, cloying, and a bit oily in its prescribed smoothness. It finishes mostly dry, with some burgeoning cooked veggies boding ill for us all, and me in particular.While I surely don't know everything about the whole "Clean, Crisp and Fresh!" claims on the label, I can proffer my opinion of this average Asian macro lager - it is certainly none of the above, but hardly off-putting by the same measure. Watery, generally inoffensive to your average bear, and good enough, I suppose, for a tick from a nation so preoccupied with that Soju shit.

If I was at a golf tournament in South Korea I could see putting a few of these away. Until then, I've had it and don't see the need to pay a premium for it in the states.

The head falls shortly to nothing, and there's no lace left behind.
Overall, it's a pretty decent, refreshing golden lager.

Being stationed in South Korea my first two years in the United States Army, I was able to experience this beer every weekend! Pours golden yellow clear, light soapy head, some lacing, and overbearing carbonation. It taste of rice and malt, along with a real fizzy taste, and not filling. It has no edge, malty after taste, and no real aroma.
