Clear gold with a fine white head. Sweet peach, grass and honey aroma. Tastes of apple and grass. Refreshingly delicious.

Bottle 330 ml. Clear yellow with a small white head. Aroma of grain and corn with hints of citrus. Taste of malt with slight fruitiness. Mouthfeel is watery dry. Carbonation is moderate. Refreshing.

Golden color with a thin white head and a mild grainy aroma. The flavor has hints of citrus and wheat with a moderately malty mouth feel.

Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is malt, light pine and light grass. Flavour is malt, grain, pine and hay.

A very boring beer with some bitterness and a bit sour. Also a not so nice aftertaste that is undetermined. Light yellow in color with a white head.

330ml bottle. Pours pale gold, average white head. lightbody, high carbonation. Some malt and cereal aromas. Dry andbitter finish. Average lager.

I get a terrible headache every time I drink this. I don’t know what it is. It’s a cool version of a dry beer though, you can really taste the rice... I dont need to taste again.

330ml bottle pours a pale golden color with a small white head that leaves no lacing behind. Aroma is mild grains and grassy hops. Taste is light malty sweetness with a sharp but mild hop bitterness that finishes quickly. A typical macro style lager that is about average.

From Nov 2006: A brown 500ml bottle, which was full of a dry tasting beer, brewed and bottled in the UK. 5%, but not super dry, as stated on my bottle. Urine yellow and clear looking, with a few bubbles breaking the surface of an otherwise headless beer. No smell, apart from an aroma simular to dishwater. Dryish is taste, but not cheek pullingly so, nor lipsmackingly thirst quenshing, just a poor lager. Dryness stays, but is not overpowering. This was my first and last ’Super Dry Asahi’ unless I am stranded on a Polynesian island and this is all that is available.

500ml can. Ample head dies fast. Lace is good though. Really pale yellow (Lovibond 3/4). As the description says - sharp delivery. Taste is subdued though, making for easy drinking. Great dry palate. Not as carbonated as I had hoped, but good. No memorable parting flavours... Sharp. Dry. Okay. No aroma to speak of.

I get a terrible headache every time I drink this. I don’t know what it is. It’s a cool version of a dry beer though, you can really taste the rice... but it’s not there to make the ingredients cheaper, it’s just what people prefer. Fairly good.
