Clear yellow color with small weird inconsistent foam. Malt, corn on the nose. Neutral taste. Not even too unpleasant. Very meh.

Lys gul farge med tynt hvitt skum. Lukter malt og noe sødme. Lettdrikkelig "butikklager". Vannete. Nytt land for meg:-)

Hite ice Malt og kornlukt. point. Lys gulbrun klar med lavt hvitt skum. Malt og kornlukt. Søtlig malt med svært lett bitterhet i avslutningen.

Very shitty hay smell. Clear yellow, medium head. Weak, cane sugar, gross but not overly sweet. Mild garbage disposal notes in the finish. Light body, moderate carbonation. Pretty awful.

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.

330ml bottle. Pours black with a small head. Seems more like a schwarzbier to me. It doesn't even look like a stout. That said, it is not too bad.

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

To jakas pomylka. Zdecydowanie nie przypomina Stouta. Bardziej jak dark lager lub Schwarzbier. Ale srednie piwa w tym stylu sa lepsze od tego. Mala piana do tego blyskawicznie znika. Pelno refleksow czerwieni wiec nie tak gesty jak stout byc powinien. Zabawna oszukancza nazwa bo to piwo dolnej fermentacji. Malo wytrawne i zero palonosci, malo wyraziste, a za slodkawe i slodowe. Czekolada na zakonczenie w oszczednej ilosci. piwo bardzo malo geste i bardzo jasne jak na styl ktory powinno reprezentowac. Nie polecam bo to sciema

(Bottle) Clear pale golden with no head. Little aroma, faintly grainy and grassy. Light body with modest carbonation. Foretaste is ok, being a reasonable if undistinguished balance of very light malt sweetness and some slightly citrusy tang. However the taste falls away and is quickly just watery. Overall very light on taste, aroma or body, but thirst quenching and drinkable. (Note that I am not certain that this is contract brewed at Hite. See forum discussion for more information.)
