Asahi Super Dry was a direct result of extensive market research which indicated a consumer preference for a more palatable beer with less maltiness, relatively high alcohol content and a light aftertaste, that paired well with the changing Japanese diet. With this insight Asahi used its brewing knowledge to develop a beer with a crisp bite, refreshing taste and clear finish to satisfied this requirement. Code named project FX, Asahi engineered a highly attenuated, highly carbonated pilsner. The later renamed product, Super Dry began sales on March 17th 1987 and gave birth to the dry beer category. The market success spawned similar competitor products and initiated what was known as the “Dry Wars” in Japan and a brief marketing fad for dry beers internationally. However Asahi has stood the test of time and now years later Super Dry continues it legacy as the world’s premier dry beer.

Special Yeast - Asahi # 318 is the proprietary ingredient used to give Super Dry its “dryness”. This special strand of yeast produces high attenuation during fermentation in conjunction with the choice grains.

Finest Ingredients – Asahi uses select grains and hops sourced worldwide based on strict criteria to maintain flavor consistency and promote sustainability. Barely with high starch content and both noble style bitter and fine aroma hops are key contributors to Super Dry’s smooth taste.

Aroma of grains, corn, cardboard. Flavour is moderate sweet with a light bitter finish. Useless Lager, like drinking cardboard.

Не самый лучший пример от марки Асахи. Пиво имеет необычный приятный аромат. Думаю что это из за риса, который входит в состав почти любого знаменитого пива из Японии. А на вкус достаточно посредственно. Легкий солодовый привкус, тоже самое и на послевкусие.Нечего необычного.

Bottle 0,33ltr, Shabu Shabu, The Hague: Golden clear coloured brew with an clean, crisp, safe but technically to perfect brewed beer. Very Czech-like beer because its brewed there.

Italian version. Pours light gold with decent white head. Aroma is malty with corn and pleasant herbal hops. It is rather dry, some corn sweetness and a touch of herbal bitterness. OK.

Ale houblonnée, un peu insipide et commerciale.

Hoppy ale, a little tasteless and commercial.
