Commercial Description:
"The secret behind the unique qualities of our happo-shu lies in two industry firsts: barley extract and Deep Sea Water. In the past, the biggest problem with brewing happo-shu was the difficulty of bringing a low-malt to healthy fermentation without the high levels of nutrients and minerals needed for yeast. By using two new ingredients, extract of barley and Deep Sea Water, we succeeded in creating a happo-shu without the peculiar smell and uneven taste caused by unhealthy yeast fermentation. In fact, we think Asahi Honnama has the crispest, clearest taste of any happo-shu ever created. At the same time, by fermenting with the rich taste of wheat from barley extract, we have eliminated the watery taste of other happo-shu to create a rich flavor experience."

Canned- Pale yellow body, frothy bleached head. Skunk is strong in this one, some chemical aromas with a mild touch of hops. Watery, sour apples is what taste I am getting here. Watery mouthfeel, sour chemical apple aftertaste. Slight burn in throat. Strange. Different, but not in a good way.

Canned. Pale golden with brief head. Rice aroma with strong notes of petrol. Thin and sweetish, but reasonably clean. Herbal finish without bitterness.
