Beer #74 - Asahi Dry

Asahi Super Dry
www.asahibeer.co.jp/english/

Japan's Asahi Brewery was formed in 1889 and has over the years expanded and purchased shares in China's Tsigntao and Australia's Foster's Group.  They introduced Super Dry in 1987 and it ignited a crazy for dry beers in Japan.

Very clear and pale golden colour with a white head.

It smells of malt, citrus and hoppy bitterness.

The maltiness comes right to the forefront and stays through the taste, the bitterness comes in to join the maltiness then the citrus comes in and to finish you are just left with a little bitterness lingering.

Asahi Super Dry is an extremely refreshing, easy drinking beer that finishes clean.  This makes a perfect everyday beer.  It's uniqueness makes it worth a try, it is it's own style of beer and not like most North American dry beers.
