Asahi Gubinama!

Can: Pale gold color, drank from a can so I’m not sure on the waveformation on the head retention. The nose is lightly grassy with some light husk and sweet malt. A bit sharp in the malt department, with very little adjuncts in the finish. Clean, a bit acidic on the palate. Decent product.

slighty lemony, seltzer water... weird. tastes more like a bad wine cooler? or perhaps, a weird chu-hi? i’d rather have chu-hi!!!

The second of three new brews for "Japanese Swill Night". This one looks like the last, another horrid offering from Asahi called "Style Free". This one has a bit more gold to it and the head flat out disappeared in record time. Not much of an aroma, what is there reminds me of a damp mop that was used yesterday to clean up spilled lemonade. Doesn’t taste much better. Not sure which was more a pathetic excuse of beer between this and the last one. Basically, both suck.

My wife informed me that this is not beer at all but a substitute that is supposed to be "Healthy" for people who want to drink beer but have stomach problems, organic. "Gubinama" means "Gulp Drink" , Japanese love onomatopoeias. Little watery and hoppy. Lots of carbonation, dont drink too much of this stuff please.

Light yellow colred, fastly vanishing white head. Lively carbonation. Lemon dominates in aroma, some fruity honey in there too. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor is very thin and watery, some unclean corn with sweet touch. Mildly dry aftertaste with some lemon. Carbonated palate.

Can.
Clear deep golden color, no head. Sweet malty and grainy nose. Watery, cardboardish, very thin (especially for 5% beer). Some sour notes in the finish. Very plain and watery. Much worse than eg. Asahi Super Dry.

Canned. Pale golden colour, no head. Aroma is quite non-existant, some slight malts and rice. Flavour is not much either, slightly hoppy. Easy to drink, but I almost drink water rather than this if I am thirsty. Alcohol also shows up a bit, as there’s not much else to cover it...
