Tested all of the Asahi yeast-series beers the same evening, thanks to Kjetil at NØ. The most interesting aspect with these four beers experiment is the fact that they are all made identical. The only difference is the type of yeast. The beer itself is a commercial lager and not very interesting itself. You have to dive deep inside the glass (and yourself) to search for greater variations. All of them are golden pale with a small head. This one is the least interesting beer with almost no malt flavour and very little hops. You may sense some bitterness.

Can. The last of the Asahi "yeast experiment", this one being brewed with ale yeast. Like the three lager beers, it is pale golden, but it has almost no head and low carbonation. The aroma is very short, with malt, hops and some wet cardboard. The flavor is malty and has a apple-note. It is a interesting experiment, making four beers with the yeast being the only difference in the recipt, but maybe it would be more interesting doing the same with a more interesting beer? (060103)

Can. Number three of the four "yeast-series" from Asahi, and last of the lager-yeast beers. My least favorable of the three, but the differences are so small I ended up giving them all the same rating. Color is pale golden, like 318, and with a small white head. Flavor is mostly like 318, but lacks some of the bitterness. Thin, lightly sweet body. (060103)

Can. Not much differenced from 111, but it is slightly darker pale golden and the aroma has a hint of alcohol. Also the flavor is much the same as 111, slightly sweeter and a more pronounced bitterness. Same thin body. (060301)

Can. Tested all of the Asahi yeast-series beers the same evening, and started with this one. This one, as the three other, are pale golden with a small white head. Very short malty aroma with some hops. The flavor is light malty with some hops. It has a thin crips body and a long, vague bitterness in the finish. (060301)
