look: 3 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2.5

Pours a clear yellow with a foamy off-white head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Tiny dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. Smell is of grain, grass/hay, and some slightly vegetal aromas. Taste is much the same with a corn flavor on the finish. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty poor beer but somehow not as bad as regular Hite.

Poured from a 12oz can into a pint glass. I bought a 6 pack at the local Korean market for $6.

A: Pours a completely clear golden straw color. There is a vibrantly white head of large bubbles which fades over the course of a minute to nothing. No lacing whatsoever.

S: Primarily grain in the aroma, with some more subtle notes of estery fruit, grapes.

T: A grape-like malt flavor is the dominant theme, backed up by grain and some very light hops. Finish is relatively clean with just a little bit of lingering bready malt.

M: True it its name, it has a (relatively) dry finish, enhanced by a very mild alcohol sensation. Low carbonation makes this quite quaffable.

O: Actually decent for an adjunct lager. I like it more than any BMC. I also seem to pick up a mild, estery fruit that other reviews here don't mention.

Purchased for $1.09 at Super A Foods in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles/California/USA.

A: I drank this beer from a can. There was no beer to be seen. I did not notice anything unusual.
S: Hite Dry Finish D has the aroma of any ordinary beer. I smell the aroma of brewed beer.
T: Hite Dry Finish D has a slightly sour taste. Vague taste of lemon. There is a bitter taste as the beer settles in the mouth.
M: Hite Dry Finish D has good carbonation in the beginning. After a while, Hite Dry Finish D loses carbonation very fast.

O: Hite Dry Finish D could almost be considered a sour/bitter beer. In the beginning, there is a sour taste. Later, there is a bitter taste as the beer goes in the mouth. Hite Dry Finish D loses carbonation quickly in a very surprising way. Each person has a favourite beer. People who enjoy slightly sour/low carbonation beers would be happy to drink Hite Dry Finish D.

355ml can poured into a pint glass by freshness date.

A:
Clear bright gold color with thick white foamy head that quickly vanishes with wee lace, medium to high carbonation.

S:
The smell is dry grain, some sweet malt, fresh hay and grassy hop.

T:
Cereal/grain touch is all around and yields some astringency, mingle by slight sweetness and grassy note, hop bitterness is likely vague.

M:
The body is light, sharp carbonated, pricky mouthfeel, not much smooth and not much dry in the finish unlike its name.

O:
Go down easy but rather dull owing to its light and clean in aroma, flavor and body. Thus, better to pair with some tasty food than drinking it alone.
