Asahi Super Dry

Brewed by Asahi Breweries
Style: Pale Lager
Tokyo, Japan

Bottle. Aroma of stale grains. Pours yellow with a white fizzy head. Very mild flavor, mostly of corn and straw. It goes down smooth enough, but I wouldn’t say it’s even as good as a Budweiser.

Bouteille. Couleur jaune-or, claire, mousse mince qui s’estompe lentement. Arôme léger de grain. Goût de grain sucré, finale très dry. Effervescence moyenne, mince. Aucune particularité.

Weak in color and aroma. Drinking too much of this can help your karaoke skills, but that is about it. This is better than a Bud Light, but that isn’t saying much.

Bottle. Pale yellow colour with a small white head. Malty aroma and taste with a dry hoppy finish. Still boring.

Bottle, no pour. Aroma has some floral notes and some malt, no skunk is a plus. Taste is slight malt and maybe some floral hop, which is more flavor than I expected. Finish is dry and somewhat fruity-sour. Palate is highly tingly with a bit much carbonation, and light and dry as advertised. Almost seems like a mild bitter lite, and is one of the better industrial lagers. I still wouldn’t ever drink this if there were a good ale (or even a micro lager) available.

Yeah. A piss poor pale lager, Japanese style. Nothing redeeming about this. Only good for washing down some late night sushi. I’m done talking about this.

Just a shade from clear hay yellow with some white foam that settles quickly. Aroma is a mix of herbal hops and a saw dust metallic sour note. Vague bile sour flavor that recedes into a little herbal hop finish. Just so little going on here. Vacuous. Not surprisingly, dry. And water-like. But not necessarily an improvement on water.

Bottle -- Very unimpressive looking beer with next to no head with no retention and no lacing. Pale, unexciting yellow. Aroma is weakly malty. Thin, watery mouthfeel with soft drink-like carbonation. Flavour is crisp, light (very!) and refreshing but that’s it. A singularly unimpressive pale lager.
