Mild, crisp, and refreshing. Along the lines of an American lager; but with little more presence of taste, bitter, and body.

Very dry and goes down nicely with sushi. I like it better than Sapporo or Kirin.

Great beer with Sushi. Not really as watery as it is light bodied. Get the 24 ounce bottle!

UPDATED: FEB 15, 2004 Light gold with small vanishing head . Unpleasant, unclean aroma, slightly citrus like. Under developed malt of low quality, low or no hop bitterness. Short unpleasant aftertaste.

It was light, but was a solid package. So it give it respect for that. And don’t forget that this beer is super. With a label like that I was expecting a bottle with a pile of really cool tasting sand. Anyone know what asahi means.

Blah

I could drink 2 liters of this stuff in half an hour, but this by itself does not a great beer make. Heat it up and pass the wasabi.

the budweiser of rice beers.

certainly dry. and flavourless

This is an excellent drink, though perhaps not an excellent beer. In many ways it lacks the characteristics often looked for by beer enthusiasts that really add character and distinction. Asahi Super Dry goes down smooth and quick, with just a slight floral or fruity taste. To put it bluntly it should probably be considered the sports drink of the beer world. Refreshing, smooth, that pint will be gone before you know it, but it may not satisfy the beer obsessed.
