Asahi Super Dry:
Greetings and salutations my dear readers and welcome back to the last day of our Asian beer tour.  I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, took nice pictures, and drank some good beers.  Today we end our tour with Asahi (translation: “to be alive”) Breweries Super Dry, the #1 beer in Japan according to some survey and really, if this is numero uno, any faith that I gained in Japanese brewing is now lost.  The beer pours a clear blonde color which is very familiar to cheap American Lager (I’m looking at you Budweiser), a clean white head that doesn’t stick around long and a nose of sour beer with a touch of sweetness and yes, it’s as off putting as it sounds.  The beers taste is EXACTLY like a semi-skunky Bud regular and instead of the normal after taste of most beers it is very dry and literally evaporates on the back of the tongue.  Not a good beer, not at all and not worth your time.  In fact the closest thing you should get to this beer is this review and your welcome for me taking this bullet for y’all.  Ugh.
