maekchu (1126) - Hirakata, JAPAN - FEB 9, 2013
Can aboard KE 17 from Incheon to Los Angeles, as "Hite Ice Point." Slight grass, minerally aroma with some citrus. Yellow straw with a fluffy head. A bit of grass and lemon. Thin body. A beer that really does not offend or please in any way.

Borresteijn (3681) - Amsterdam, NETHERLANDS - FEB 2, 2013
33cl Bottle at Khan Korean restaurant, as Hite Ice Point. Clear pale golden colour, white head that disappears in an instant. Aroma is sweet, light malty, corn. Flavour is medium sweet, light malty, corn, light floral, very light bitter finish, slightly dry and light grainy. Light-bodied, a bit fizzy. It’s not very good, but not as bad as expected from all the ratings here.

Shaney (1809) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - JAN 22, 2013
Mittelgelbe Farbe, der Schaum ist schnell verschwunden. Blumiges Malz im Aroma und im Geschmack, der allerdings recht dünn ausfällt. Der wenige Hopfen ist eher grobschlächtig als aromatisch. Trinkbar.

rumproasts (1196) - Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA - DEC 19, 2012
bottle. golden with small head. grassy with light corn. dry finish. pleasant and surprisingly decent for the style, which isn’t a huge endorsement.

KeefOz (487) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - DEC 17, 2012
Poured a clear golden yellow colour with no head. The high carbonation disperses any head and after that all that is left are a few bubbles rising to the surface. Aroma very faintly of malt. Taste initially sweet followed by a faint hops bitterness. Light body, bordering on watery. Short faint bitter finish. It’s clean tasting and refreshing but the aroma, taste and palate are comparable with other large commercial brewery lagers.

Providence. Had the obligatory Hite with bulgogi - remembered how awful this beer is. Good article on South Korean brewing industry in the Economist from last week. http://www.economist.com/news/business/21567120-du
