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.

Rated at Mala Master. Smooth, easy going and slightly watery lager with a touch of cardboard.

Bottle at James, 16/09/23. Golden pour with a white cap that escapes edgewards. Nose is grains, herb, pale malts, corn husk. Taste comprises cereals, strae, grains, paper. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Passable macro logger... plenty better out there.

11.2 oz bottle from the airport lounge. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a small white head and good retention. Fair lacing. Faint pale malt aroma. As expected, crisp pale malt flavor with a dry, sharp finish similar to a pilsner. Fairly generic overall, except for the dryer than average finish. Medium-light body. High carbonation. Not bitter. Decent. Made in Italy?

Bière 33 cl. Dans l'ensemble, je dirais que cette bière japonaise n'est pas extraordinaire, mais pour une bière peu coûteuse et d'un pays qui n'est pas réputé pour ses bières, elle reste tout de même correcte. Elle a un goût léger et rafraîchissant, avec des notes de céréales et de houblon assez subtiles, mais sans aucune complexité. Elle est assez légère et facile à boire, ce qui en fait une option décente pour les occasions où l'on cherche une bière simple et désaltérante pour accompagner un plat japonais.
