Pronounced ‘ah-sah-hee’, meaning ‘rising sun’, this beers production process was developed in 1987 by Asahi Breweries Ltd in Japan and includes the use of corn and rice which, by causing a more complete fermentation process, produces a light crisp taste which has made it ‘Japan’s No.1 beer’.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 11/08/2012

Appearance:

Clear, deep golden with thin white head which quickly dies to ring of foam and broken surface froth.

Aroma:

Subdued, what little aroma there is suggests metallic sweet corn with faint grassy hops.

Taste:

Clean, dry and bland. Vague maltiness with some hop bitterness.

Aftertaste:

Short and dry.
