Asahi Super Dry: 14

Taste: 4 Finish: 4 Visual: 3 Aroma: 3
Total: 14

Super Dry is the best selling beers in Japan. It was designed to be crisp and clean with no aftertaste while retaining full flavor. Let's see.

It's a nice light golden color. Thin head. Slightly sweet aroma.

It's a very light flavor. Slight malt flavor upfront. A bit soapy in the middle. Very limited bitterness at the end. It finishes cleanly and pretty much gone seconds later. A very simple beer.

This would be the equivalent of Coors or Miller in the States. An inoffensive beer with little going for it. But certainly nothing bad either. It lived up to its crisp, clean, and no aftertaste tag line. But, full flavored? Compared to water? Yes. Compared to real beer? No.
