Having worked for 10 years for a Japanese company, I ended up in Japanese restaurants quite often. I much prefer Sapporo but the Asahi Super Dry was usually my choice with meals simply because of it's ability to cleanse the palate and leave little lingering flavor. With the delicate tastes of Japanese cooking, this was always a good choice with food but otherwise it is rather uninteresting.

    I had this beer with sushi at Cafe Asia in Roanoke, VA. This was a dry beer - typical Japanese lager - and was really only good for cleansing the palate. It is what it is. Low expectations, good with dinner.

    Purchased at Liquor Control Board of Ontario store. This is one of the dregs of the beer world. It pours a clear light gold colour with an oversized white cap that quicky disappears. Aroma is skunky vegetables, acid, and grass. Flavour is malt-forward with plenty of skunky and off-flavours.

    Light gold tiny cap...... poured from the giant 2L can. Smellless corn, pennies, not skunk but almost, not offended at all. Taste like nothing.... corn, bread, light metalic hops.... I’m done reviewing this.

    Clear light yellow with thick foam head, not lasting long though. Bitter taste with some rice tones. Nice aftertaste, tickling. Perfect with some sushi in bar. (Moscow, 201202)

    A great big quart-sized can, perfect for after work relaxation. Drink this very cold, and you get a clean-tasting lager. No skunky taste even as it nears room temperature. Marketed for beer guzzlers, and the taste is what is expected. A crisp, clean lager. Nice. Recommended!

    pours a very pale yellow color with a foamy white head. The aroma is almost non-existent, I just noticed grain and a slight grass aroma. The taste doesn't have much, just a hint of grain and lemon. Very light with lots of carbonation and it actually is pretty dry. I could see this being refreshing on a hot day, not much else going on though.

    I always ate this with sushi and chinese food, and in that setting I actually always seem to like it. Dry, biscuity, cracker, more cracker, little flavour, refreshing and really bubbly. I have never drank this without the accompaniment of sushi or chinese so I can really only speak to its effervescent qualities, its lack of flavour and its ability to function as a palate neutralizer and cut the saltyness of soy sauce.

    Pours a pale gold color. Mouthfeel is like water. Taste is grassy with a metallic tinge to it. Aroma is lemons. Yes, I got lemons out of it. The head diminishes into a cap with decent lacing.

    It pours a light yellow-golden with a thin white head and some lacing. An aroma of rice malts, light hops, lemon, tart and funk, and mildly spicy. The mouthfeel is smooth and rich. Flavors of rice malts, hops, lemon, bitterness, and lightly spicy. Mild and flavorful, not bad.

    Very clear, straw color. Thin, white head that was gone almost before I finished pouring. Scant amount of lacing left on the glass. Few bubbles coming up from the bottom. Very light hops in the nose. Getting, what I find to be, a wet corn or wheat smell. Somewhat off putting actually. This beer actually smells kind of stale. The taste reveals the corn with a touch of hop bitterness. Not much. Some astringency is a bit distracting. Got a bit of "the funk" rearing its head in the taste also. Mouthfeel was thin, but surprisingly rather dry. Not much is left on the palate however. It is smooth and could be somewhat refreshing if need be. Doesn't feel bad by any means. Well... I like to give each beer a fair review and I respect all brewers, but I probably won't be visiting this beer agian. Some may like it and I'm sure it has its place, but it's just not the beer for me. I'm better off having tried it though.
