Bottle shared at Leightons pad. Many thanks to Daniel for this one. Very pale yellow coloured pour with a fleeting white head. Aroma is plastic, berry fruit, veg, pale grains. Flavour is composed of Clean light grains, cereal pils, light berry, little lemon. Pretty clean and drinkable, Palate is very light crisp and a little lemon. Not bad at all.

Can shared at the Gardens - big thanks to Daniel. Pours clear, pale yellow with a faint white foam head. Simple, flimsy white bread on the nose, light paper and hay. Light sweet flavor with some drying paper, a bit of lemony twang, dry pale grains. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Dry finish with a bit of cereal, pale bread, hay. Fine.

Tasted as Hite Ice Point, which is apparently the exported version. The best known Korean lager, with a loose and quickly dissipating, snow white, lacing head and pale yellow blonde colour with vivid sparkling. Soft malt sweetness in the nose, rice as expected from an Asian lager, some iron, grainy, faint and simple grassy hops. Soft and slick, thin mouthfeel, soft sweetishness of pale malts and cooked rice, a bit honeyish, some minerals and lightly metallic primarily in the finish, medium to strong carbo, faint and straightforward, dryish grassy hop bitterishness in the finish, but not enough to balance out the rice sweetness; in all on the watery side. Pretty neutral - or let’s say bland - standard Asian lager, thirst-quenching without further ambitions, but admittedly I had worse in Europe. Just another industrial ’macro lager’, more or less correct, but nothing more than that.

500ml can. Got this for free from Bochka in Moscow after spending a fair amount on craft beer. Decided to re-rate. Pours clear gold with a small white head. Aroma is corn, faint maltiness. Taste is corny, watery, light bitterness. In hindsight I was too harsh on it. 3/2/4/2/7 = 1.8 330ml bottle from local off-licence, labelled as Hite Ice Point. Very surprised to see Korean beer in Moscow. Pours piss yellow with no head. Corny aroma. Taste is very much like a non-alcoholic beer. Very watery and falls apart when it warms up. Bad stuff. 2/1/2/1/3 = 0.9
