Can (rated Apr 2008). Head is mostly diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), lightly hoppy (herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, slightly husky. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Very clear golden coloured body with a very dense, thick off-white head and some small, yet very slow moving bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of apples, rice, malt, cardboard and some odd airy smells. Medium-bodied; Nice fresh and strong malt flavour with a hint of alcohol at the end and some rather assertive (for japanese) hop notes also. Aftertaste shows some fruity qualities with pears and apples definitely showing up. Overall, a surprisingly decent beer with some complexity for the style, but even better - defined malt flavours and some fruit and light hop tastes. I sampled this 350 mL can (very nice quality can, as well, glossy all over) purchased from GS25 in Seoul (Myendong), South Korea on 23-August-2010 sampled at home on the other side of the planet in Washington on 28-November-2011.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is pilsner malts, honey, vanilla, floral, and a hint of peppery hops. Flavor is very nice pilsner malts, honey, a nice touch of grain, vanilla, and a very balanced peppery finish.

Sweet, malty aroma with almost enough hops. Flavor quickly becomes too sweet and cloying, though, with not near enough hops. First sip was very impressive, last sip and I just wanted to get it over with. Not so special. Includes rice and starch! Come on, Asahi! Is this your premium?

canned. a regular shade of yellow, fizzy, metallic aroma and even more metallic aftertaste, dull and pointless
