Hite and Hite Extra Cold merged?

Beer Talk

It appears that these might be the same beer:

I say this because it looks like Untappd merged them recently. I am wondering whether anyone has any expertise or knowledge on this issue and whether these beers should be merged.

Although according to their website, it looks like the recipe may have changed in 2017: http://en.hitejinro.com/m/brand/view.asp?brandcd2=A01

I think you are right. Isn’t the Extra Cold entry the same as Hite Ice Point (look at the label, it clearly says “ICE POINT”), which in turn is the same as Hite Beer?

I can reach out to some people in South Korea.
