Louisiana Beer Reviews: Asahi Super Dry

[@rauloropeza_]

It's freaking amazing and at the same time such a simple beer...

[@ronaldtheriot]

There are beers, like that, out there, and I love 'em! Thanks for watching, Raul Oropeza. I appreciate it!

[@hraefn1821]

Been dying to try Asahi for a while! Always hear great things about it. Well...not ALWAYS. Always some haters but still. This review just confirms I HAVE to buy it if I ever see it. Interesting thing to note, you see this beer pop up in a LOT of anime shows. XD

[@ronaldtheriot]

Seth Roberson I would strongly recommend trying Asahi, the Asahi Dark, and the Asahi Amber.

[@TheAaronChand]

the thing About Bud Dry it did well in test runs and it was pretty big in Advertisments with the slogan why ask why but unfortanatley it falied to reach any kind of poularity and it was discountuied in June 2010 Jay

[@ronaldtheriot]

It's really enjoyable, and I think you'll like it. Thanks for watching, Kaimicah77!

[@1977Futre]

I find a lot of reviewers automatically punish mainstream beers. Calling them bland . Many beer drinkers dont want overly strong beer. Alternatively they might choose to drink quite a few in which case they'd look for a smoother easier pint. I always think that macro beers shouldnt be judged to the same standard as craft beers that are produced in smaller amounts. I also appreciate it put you in a hard position by insulting someone whom you probably know. Anyway keep up the good work.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, and I am glad that we see "eye to eye", on this. I really do appreciate your support!

[@samsquanch1996]

I love Asahi, I think it's better than Sapporo. I had it at a restaurant in Las Vegas back in March, but I haven't been able to find it in stores. I wish it was easier to find in my area.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I wish it was easier, too, as I rarely ever see it, these days. Thanks for watching, samsquanch1996. I appreciate it!

[@zillsburyy]

the ASAHI 500ML and 1000ML cans are brewed in JAPAN. all others asahi is brewed canada

[@ronaldtheriot]

Aren't some from Viet Nam, now, too?

[@halholbrookspussy]

Had a can of this this afternoon as well. In agreement with you, crisp and delicious.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I really like it, GSM.

[@halholbrookspussy]

I'm revisiting Asahi Super Dry this evening. Man, it is fantastic. So crisp, cold, dry, and refreshing. Really unique vibe. I like the dry rice taste. Amazing beer to drink in a frosty mug.

[@ronaldtheriot]

+GiantSpaceMonkey I 100% agree, GSM.

[@TheAaronChand]

GiantSpaceMonkey I had Ashai Super Dry in the huge tall cans here in Vancouver Canada in November 2016 and I did not like it because it was warm I may revisit it Again during the Easter holiday weekend this week but I love Sapporo beer which is a staple in my fridge the Japanese beers tastes better and are better Quality than Budweiser Coors light Miller lite MGD Corona Bud light same with the Germans and same thing with Prague

[@halholbrookspussy]

Oh man, Aaron, if it was warm, you cannot judge the beer. It needs to be ice cold. Definitely try it again as such. Cheers!

[@TheAaronChand]

GiantSpaceMonkey yeah I was thinking there's no way this beer can be this bad Quality ever since the 19th century Japan has adopted western culture and they learned good craftsmanship from the Germans and that includes beer making so no way this beer can be bad like you said I had it warm so I did not get the full taste how dose it taste when chilled and compared to the western beers like Budwiser Coors light Miller lite MGD Bud light Corona

[@TheAaronChand]

so how is it compared to Budwiser Coors Light MGD Bud Light or Corona Miller Light Natty light and Pabst that people drink in the western countries can you get back to me thanks

[@nickhen4699]

Great beer. My housemate bought a 2 liter minature keg of it for a group of us to share. So easy to drink.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Nick Hen You're right. It is just so smooth.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I think it's a fine Japanese lager. Thanks for watching, 1977Futre!

[@zaorulesmetal]

I got it right! I smelled this beer and said "nothing but grain". I'm learning! The taste was mostly grain as well, with just that tiny spark of hop at the end. Letting it warm up brings the hop out a little bit more, along with the roast on those grains. If I were to go for an adjunct, I'd definitely spring for this.

[@ronaldtheriot]

That's a good assessment, and I've not seen Asahi in my parish, in years.

[@1qwasz12]

Just had one today for the first time. I gave it an A- on Beer Advocate.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I wish it would return to Louisiana. I never see it, anymore.

[@short537]

Great review Ronald! I will say this may merit a revisit since some things have changed. On my 25.4 oz can, it says both that it is brewed by Birra Peroni in Italy and that it is 5.2% alcohol! Overall, I do think it is a good beer but I have a preference for its competitor in Japan of Sapporo. The original, the reserve, and the black are just superb.

[@ronaldtheriot]

The issue for me, now, Frank Short, is that I never see Asahi, anymore. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it!

[@fluffycat09]

Every now and then I go into an Asian Lager/Pilsner phase. This one is great! I enjoy Sapporo Reserve too. Asian Lagers are a nice change from my usual American and European Lagers. I enjoy the Canadian Lagers too (Molson, Labatt, and Moosehead)! I always get Pilsners when I visit breweries!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks for watching, fluffycat09. I appreciate it! Have you ever tried Asahi Black Lager? Or, Sapporo Black?

[@fluffycat09]

@@ronaldtheriot Not the Asahi Black, but I have had the Sapporo Black and it is good. I prefer the regular Sapporo. This fall and winter I want to get into stouts and porter styles. Darker ales.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Do you think there is a difference in taste, or is it all the same?

[@ronaldtheriot]

For me, they're both really good, zills.

[@joe56984]

This is a pretty good beer. It is commonly found in 33.8oz cans as well.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I wish it would return to my area.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I enjoy both of those, mtj.

[@1977Futre]

Great stuff again Ronald. I do want to go to Louisiana too!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, 1977F. Did you ever visit?

[@1977Futre]

@@ronaldtheriot nope. Never did. Maybe one day, post pandemic!

[@SwillinGrog]

Excellent review! I'm glad you liked it. Interestingly, the Asahi I reviewed (imported from Japan) was 5.0% ABV. Also, most of the Asahi available here that you'll find in the form of 330ml brown glass bottles is actually made under license in Thailand then imported to Australia by the Foster's Group. I believe there is a slight difference in taste as well.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks! Have you ever tried the Asahi Dark?

[@1977Futre]

My fave lager. Great to see a fan of it.

[@TheAaronChand]

1977Futre I love Ashai Super Dry as well probably my favorite Japanese or Marco beer I'm on holiday in Australia I'm from Vancouver Canada but I'm visiting family here in Brisbane Australia and I'm mostly drinking Ashai Super Dry and Lowenbru which is German version much better than VB Crown Carlton extra dry macros the Ashai Super Dry made here in Australia is brewed under license from supervision in China but I found a local bar that has Ashai Super Dry on Tap Japanese marco larger beers are some of the best quality sessionable beers that go well with Asian foods or even western food's hopefully I get to try super Dry on Tap here in Brisbane Australia before I come back to Canada in Canada the Ashai Super Dry I usually get is imported from Japan in the tall 500 ML cans and we get the 6 pack of bottles of Ashai Super Dry made under lscinces in Thailand

[@ronaldtheriot]

I love Asahi beer!

[@nicayu]

Checking out all your Japanese beer reviews. This is one of my favourites. Great beer, could drink it all day. Bloody good review sir.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I love it, too, and thanks. I appreciate you watching, Jesse Ward!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Oh, yeah. This stuff is delicious!

[@konis234]

Having this now looking forward to it

[@ronaldtheriot]

I love it, Panicos!

[@ronaldtheriot]

I appreciate that, 1977Futre. Well, Chad does a very good job, as far as I'm concerned. Although, I wish he, like many other reviewers, wasn't so biased. Yes, I think you'd love New Orleans!

[@samuelrivera3534]

I had this beer in the Philippines and in South Korea on my way home to America I have to say I like it a lot. So I just bought a 6 pack for $9.99

[@ronaldtheriot]

It's good stuff, although that's a bit pricey. But, I notice that being the case with Asahi.

[@ronaldtheriot]

***** Thanks for watching, Im here because im bored!

[@TheAaronChand]

here in BC Vancouver Canada it costs $12.79 for a 2 litre jug of Asahi I never had it but I may pick it up this Saturday

[@1977Futre]

Man...I love the fact that I now live in Asia ( from the UK originally ) ...I buy this every week for 2 quid a pint at yakitori places! Happy days!

[@ronaldtheriot]

1977Futre That's super-cool, 1977Futre!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks, and I believe you would like Louisiana, 1977F!

[@user-rq7tt7qv6x]

What a great beer!! Revisit it, it's been to many years. Do a new review!👍🏻

[@ronaldtheriot]

You know, I never see this beer, anymore.

[@user-rq7tt7qv6x]

@@ronaldtheriot goodness..it's all over here in Houston TX. Do ya'll have a Specs store around there?

[@ronaldtheriot]

@@user-rq7tt7qv6x Sadly, we do not.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I love that stuff!

[@zillsburyy1]

here, we have the huge glass bottles and the 33.8 ounce cans

[@ronaldtheriot]

Tommy Sands Oh, we get those, too. I have seen those huge cans, but I can't remember where.

[@zillsburyy1]

Ronald Theriot i like asahi. its really super dry if thats what your looking for. drinkability very high i just wish it had a little more flavor to it.

[@ronaldtheriot]

To me, it has pretty decent flavor.

[@zillsburyy]

by the way, up here in the peoples republic of massachusetts, i work with a guy that went to LSU. :-)

[@ronaldtheriot]

Yeah. I wonder when he graduated. Have you ever tried the Asahi Dark?

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks a lot, 1977F!

[@user-rq7tt7qv6x]

Great beer!!!

[@ronaldtheriot]

That's for sure!

[@Kaimicah77]

i cant wait to try some. i want some kirin ichiban too.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Did you ever try it? Thanks for watching, Kaimicah77. I appreciate it!

[@ronaldtheriot]

Thanks so much, nicayu!

[@TheAaronChand]

Ronald Theriot Jay the Ashai Super Dry I had in the tall cans said a product of Japan and there's a production date on the bottom of the can. I tried Ashai Super Dry during the Easter holiday weekend and I loved it tastes so much about western beers like Budwiser Coors Miller. it has a nice strong taste almost like a European beer euro larger taste but better And a dryness at the end which brings it out it's great with food and a good beer for diabetics since all the sugar is transformed into Alchoal it's an A plus beer i may buy some this week

[@ronaldtheriot]

@SwillinGrog Wow, that's interesting, Dave. Well, yes, I really did enjoy the Asahi. It could be a while before I ever have it again, sadly.

[@ronaldtheriot]

@joe56984 I'd like to have it again some day.

[@ronaldtheriot]

I'll keep my eyes open for it, zillsburyy.

[@tactical321]

did you went to buy this after i commented on your sapporo review? anyways, 4 dollars kind of strange. i usually see these go for $6.99 for a six pack bottle.

[@ronaldtheriot]

Have you ever tried Asahi Black?

[@ronaldtheriot]

@jdub94ful Oh, Asahi Super Dry is really good, but $4.00 a bottle is a total rip-off, for sure!

[@TheAaronChand]

Ronald Theriot hey Jay I had Ashai Super Dry in November 2016 but I didn't like it may be because it was warm I may revisit it Again

[@mtj027]

Okay forget that, it was Kirin I had last night. Probably my favorite Japanese beer out there. I have had Asahi though, a month or two ago and it was good too

[@ronaldtheriot]

It's a good one, but I almost never see this beer, anymore.

[@ronaldtheriot]

It's delicious, konis!

[@ronaldtheriot]

I think it's a really good one, A-G P!

[@phaikia13]

The ants are biting your feet because you're not sharing your beer. :D

[@ronaldtheriot]

Wei Ren Lim Yes, that's probably true, ha-ha! Thanks for watching, Wei Ren Lim! I appreciate it!

[@TheAaronChand]

Ronald Theriot hey Jay I can't wait to try Ashai Super Dry on Saturday night tomarrow I bought 3 tall cans here in Vancouver Canada on Tuesday so it's been in my fridge for 5 days so it should be cold enough to get the full flavor by Saturday

[@TheAaronChand]

having it now Jay its cold sweet fresh crisip refreshing smooth and a nice strong taste almost like a European beer but better with a dry finesh at the end with that Alcholic taste you talked about now i know why its Japans number one beer its an A plus beer for sure

[@ronaldtheriot]

They've got these LSU people all over, ha-ha!

[@zillsburyy]

do a review on japanese GINGA KOGEN beer (if u can find it!) its VERY good! $4 a bottle

[@ronaldtheriot]

I have, and it's delicious!

[@Dankcatvacs]

i dont undertand all the praise, the beer tastes like Pierre water , very flavorless atleast saorro tasted like Budweiser, i actually they both tasted similar . at $3 its ok i give it a 6.7 not offensive but not a winner either, the best part is it tastes like natural light (sorta) but 5% like bud. i don't see how you can justify an A rating , would you drink this over pyramid, Guinness, or dales pale ale

[@ronaldtheriot]

To me, it's a really good beer. I've never tried Pyramid or Dales Pale Ale.

[@MrGabito88]

Vulgora Sapporo taste like foster
