Best Features: golden colour, light aroma
Seeing how much I love sushi I thought why not give this popular Japanese beer a try. The Asahi had a very appealing light golden yellow colour to it with full tight head. Its light aroma was very unique in that it could only be described as woody. The mouth feel was pleasing and light bodied with a very sharp and crisp aftertaste as expected from a “dry” beer. Overall this was an enjoyable beer that I could drink for an evening. Obvious food pairings include sushi, other Japanese food and spicy Asian meals.
Beer Fact: Asahi Super Dry is the world's first "dry" beer and like other Japanese beers, the highest sales of this product occur in Japanese restaurants. |

Best Features: crisp clean finish
Asahi Super Dry beer is a very interesting beer from Japan. This beer started the trend of the "dry" brewing process. Basically the dry brewing eliminates the unwanted byproducts and waste from the beer and creates a clean crisp beer. The aroma is pleasant with a slight hint of spices. The carbonation is average and, as promised, the finish is crisp and clean with no lingering aftertaste. I would recommend matching this beer with something salty or spicy (like chips or chilli). This beer is available in most BC liquor stores and we always taste it during our beer tasting classes!
Beer Fact: The "dry" refers to the amount of unconverted sugar after fermentation. Dry beer have a longer fementation process and have virtually no unconverted sugar left resulting in a crisp beer with a clean finish. |

Best Features: Easy drinking dry beer
Asahi Super Dry has no strong tastes. Known as the world's first "dry" beer, it has limited flavour, virtually no aftertastes, and really doesn't have much of any aromas to it. However, it still is a decently brewed beer. This is the type of beer I could drink all night at a party and serve to my friends. Asahi dry is available at most Lower Mainland liquor stores and at $11.29 a six pack, it is a fairly good deal for an import product!
