The Quest pt 13: Asahi Super Dry
And so another Japanese beer. Brewed in Thailand, dammit
Asahi pours a clear, pale yellow,with a medium head that fades quickly to a very thin layer of bubbles. There is a lot of carbonation; it looks fizzy.
First sip: Smooth with a light malt, almost no rice-grain to taste. Mild hops. No strong after-taste. No nastyness. Light on the fizz, which is a surprise considering the amount of visible bubbles. It has a full mouth feel, not watery at all.
Another rather bland lager to go with very strong-tasting food. Not one to drink on its own - I almost considered dumping the last inch of beer from the glass instead of drinking it.
The Asahi brewed in Japan has to taste better.
