Asahi Draft Beer

Yeah, I drank this in Japan, woo hoo for me I guess I’m turning Japanese .

Overall Impression: Can’t remember where I drank this one, had the Super Dry a few times, but this I don’t remember as well.

4/13/2009: Asahi Draft Beer is super dry, somewhat fruity, has has hints of soft apple/pear and toasted grains. There is just a hint of faint bitterness in the finish. It has a pale straw color and a lively amount of carbonation that feeds a lasting white crown. Overall this beer is refreshing, but not overly flavorful which is actually good so that it doesn’t over power the sushi. It definitely servers as a good palate cleanser!

21.4 fl. oz. bottle twist-off bottle at Mr. Sushi in Columbus, Ohio. Rating #51 for this beer.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is malty, floral, honey, rice, vanilla, some menthol, and some peppery hops. Flavor is honey, vanilla, floral, a hint of menthol. and a bitter peppery finish.

Bottle. Clear yellow pour. Aroma of corn and rice. Flavor is grass and malts. Very thin and watery. Smooth and easy to drink.

12 0z bottle. Pours pale yellow with a thin crispy head. Smells arent very strong, maybe a little sour. Taste is really light and thin, hints of some hops and grains.

Crushed with Jakebra. Very smooth and unoffensive. Boring naturally, but kinda almost aight. Good for a Jap beer.

canned. yellow, quite thin and simple, fizzy with some industrial cleaner in the finish instead of hops
