Hite Jinro
South Korea·Korean Lager
Tap to rate

Hite Jinro's Korean flagship, launched 2019 to overtake the domestic lager market. 100% Australian barley from the "Golden Triangle" — no rice, no corn adjunct. No artificial carbonation: the fine bubbles develop naturally in fermentation, giving Terra its silky mouthfeel. 4.6% ABV, clean, crisp, and the beer that reset Korean expectations.
