Asahi Draft Beer

Brewed by Asahi Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Tokyo, Japan

This really isn’t anything special. Smell is weak and malty. Color is light golden with little head. Flavor is something near budweiser, but with a dry finish like the bottle advertises.

Canned. Pours a pale golden body with a fizzy white head. Rice, adjunct, sweet with some light spice and honey. Some light floral note but rather bland and uninteresting. Eh.

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!
