I'm starting with a rather mainstream beer, one that I've had several times before in England. There's some talk on the can of how fantastic the beer is going to be. It's only a 350ml can, which, unfortunatly, seems to be the standard in Japan. Costing about 200円 it wasn't cheap either. (I've since discovered that the drug store down the road sells alcohol suprisingly cheaply and I have a six pack of tomorrow's beer chilling in the fridge).
Then can opens with a pleasing sound and reveals an aroma which could only be described as 'lager'. As promised the taste is dry (but is it *super dry*? Only time and comparison will tell). It's not too fizzy, which I like. I can't show you what colour it is because I'm drinking from the can (I am classy, no?). Slight whiff of alcohol when draining the can, but nothing too bad. In conclusion, it's nice, but I knew that anyway.
Details: Asahi Super Dry. 5%. 350ml.
Tomorrow: Kirin Nodogoshi - something I've not had before.
