Asahi Premium Draft Beer Jukusen

Brewed by Asahi Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Tokyo, Japan

Hazy straw colour. Clean, fresh grain aroma with soft noble hops. Flavour is the same - clean, light bready pale malt character, sweet, with a lightly spicy noble hop finish. Body is moderate for style and carbonation light. Refreshing, an excellent example of a pale lager.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is pilsner malts, honey, vanilla, floral, and a hint of peppery hops. Flavor is very nice pilsner malts, honey, a nice touch of grain, vanilla, and a very balanced peppery finish.

Had this from a yellow-gold coloured can bought from a convenience store in Tokyo. Clear-pale yellow with a white, quickly disappearing head. Hoppy aroma with a stronger hop and malt taste than "Super Dry". If you like the regular Asahi but are looking for more flavour, here it is.

Biggish white head does not last. Pale yellow body. Faint malt aroma. Dry grainy taste with grassy hop notes. Exceptionally clean palate. Dry, papery aftertaste. Men of science worked hard to remove all taste from this beer, and they did a great job. (0.334l bottle.)

Canned. Pale yellow and golden in colour with a rather thin fizzy head. Malty with notes of bread, grain, metal and a hint of bitter hops.

Bottle from Ichidai in PDX--Poured a clear straw golden body with a minimal white head. Crisp, pissy, generic Pilsner nose. It was no surprise to find out that this beer was under contract by Molsen of Canada. Not a bad beer, just far from boring.

Jukusen. Canned. Pale yellow coloured. Grain and rice in the aroma and in the flavour. Light bodied. Some bitterness in the finish.

Can. Low fluffy white and quickly disappearing fluffy head. Clear golden body. Mild barley malt aroma with grassy notes. Mild barley malt flavor with grassy notes and a fair hops bitterness. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste.
