2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
brewed under licence at Shepard neame. Minimal aroma. Sweet malty body and dry finish.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Fizzy, yellow and low in flavour. Not a criticism. As far as transparent yellow, mass produced lagers go, this is a good un’. Crisp and clear. Fizzy. Impressive in absolutely no respect.

Bottle. Corn, rtie, alcoholic harshness, dust. Gold body, white head. Fairly sweet. Dry finish. Decent lager.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
En nästan helt obefintlig doft och smak, kanske en aning touch av gräs om jag lägger go’viljan till. Inget mycket att ropa hurra för
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
330 ml bottle. Clear pale yellow colour, thin white head. Mild, grainy malty aroma. The flavour is light, malty, with a mildly grassy-hoppy finish. Boring.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hopfig-würziger und grasiger Geruch. Start hopfenwürzig. Mitte würzig weiterführend, leider etwas brotig und pappig. Abgang dann moderat bittertrocken. Geht so.

I don’t know why everyone is so down on this beer. Asahi has some watery nonsense out there, but this Super Dry is a good, wheaty, mild, very drinkable and refreshing beer.
It appears that the pretense and snobbery of craft-brew-Gestapo affectations has overpowered the ability to objectively analyze something’s enjoyability. Mild, refreshing beers are not bad, they’re a different style, and we should look to rate beers according to how well they embody a style or accomplish a purpose, and this beer’s purpose is to be well carbonated, light, and refreshing— which it is through and through.

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2011 These Asahi brews are certainly a pleasant surprise! To be honest, I was half expecting them to be on the skunky side but they have proven me wrong and are good brews to enjoy! This brew poured up a clear pale golden yellow body with a white frothy head that quickly dissipated to a thin bubbly sheen and left marginal lacing. Aromas and flavors are genuinely almost like good sake in this light-bodied brew with a clean, dry finish with no harsh aftertastes. Definitely an easy brew to drink and not get that bloated feeling afterwards (unless you down a case or so!).
