look: 4 | smell: 2 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Appearance - Pale gold color brew, thin threads of carbonation, pillowy head of white foam with some lacing effect.

Smell - What you might expect form a rice lager. Smells of grass, hay, and wheat.

Taste - Nearly tasteless. Brief notes of hops, spice, both of which serve to underscore the inherently rice-adjunct flavor.

Mouthfeel - Very light and scouring

Drinkability - Certainly drinkable. Not terribly complex or noteworthy, but I don't expect it to be. Pairs well with sushi and other Japanese delicacies, and can serve as well as Kirin beer as a background for sake bombers.

Serving type: can

I didn't think I'd care much for this beer. I'm not really a big pale ale dude, but I was given a bottle of the Asahi Super Dry, and I would never throw a beer out without at least trying it. The best way I can describe this beer is a perfect starter beer. It's super smooth, super drinkable. I don't want to say it's watered down, because it packs flavor, and is quite refreshing. I had no problem drinking the bottle at all. I tend to lean toward dark ales, porters, and especially stouts. But if you want a smooth drinkable beer, or want to get one of your buddies into drinking brews without throwing his taste-buds for a loop, pick this beer up.

B+ beer, all the way

This is a mediocre beer. Pours a bland yellow with a quickly dissipating head. Too much carbonation. Smells a bit like soap. The taste isn't awful. Has more of a malty flavor than the average macro lager but has a faint metallic taste to it as well. Crisp and dry mouthfeel.

Serving type: on-tap

Always rate to style...

Clear, yellow, very little soapy head.

Not too much to report on. Rice, dry, peaty.

Wet, high carbonation, crisp, light, not too many flavors.

Uneventful. Great in Sake Bombs. Refreshing for a hot spring day. Recommended as a back up brew.
