Asahi Super Dry

Brewed by Asahi Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Tokyo, Japan

Serve in Dimpled mug, English pint, Lager glass, Shaker

Bottle: White head that disappears quick. Yellow golden colored beer. Smell aroma’s of malts, grains, wheat, spices and some hops. Taste is quite similar to smell, bit watery and not much body.

1/2 liter cans at a reception. Smells and tastes like white rice with an aftertaste that resembles a $9 handle of vodka.

Draught at a chain izakaya in Osaka. Finally got around to rating this. Light hop and light malt aroma. Crisp, light, smooth body, clean, dry flavor. Nothing off, very drinkable, very innocuous. Slips gently on, for sure.

No way,not my kind of thing.Dull watery taste and no aroma at all.The foam disappears right away.I was expecting better things from this,but 100% disappointed.

Yellow pour with white head. Aroma is grains. Taste is dry, little malt, a little crisp.

The logo looks foreign, but that’s about the only departure from any sort of american lager (well, except for the elevated price). Dry, relatively without flavor. Finish could be described as clean...or just uninteresting. Only interesting for novelty’s sake in the extra large tallboy format.

Just another foreign version of an plain American Pale Lager. Typical, nothing special or even relatively good.

Bottle. Light notes of grain and herbs and a hint of cooked vegetables. Head is frothy, pure white with some good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is sparkling clear gold. Flavor is mostly all acidic and a little bitter in the end. Palate is light, dry and has a lively carbonation. Not much to it, but a nice beer to pair with tepanyaki.
