I truly find Asahi and thai beers to have a pleasantly sligbt sweet twist to them. Just wish the ABV would be a bit higher

son, they brew it with sugar. don't expect anyone to respect it

[Anonymous No.9604603]

>>9604594
Or corn syrup. There is still a grain bill difference and if you can't taste it you have a fucked palate. It's not about respect it's about talent.

>mmm yes this shitty generic """"premium beer"""" tastes a bit less of corn than the other one, exhibiting nice notes of boiled vegetables instead

it is the best lager, the rice they put in it makes it dry as fuck and not sickeningly sweet like coors

[Anonymous No.9604632]

rice. aftertaste is more bearable.
it's still pabst for weebs. only good jap macro is orion.

If you like rice you should try Budweiser. Cheaper than Sapporo, too

[Anonymous No.9604696]

>>9604654
the japs use a koji derivative to get an almost complete ferment of the malt, too. ends up being extremely crisp if unsubstantial, it's definitely not a good german pilsner but it's distinguished by what it's missing more than what's there when it shouldn't be.

bud is a poor budget imitation of a czech pilsner to begin with, so the rice's insubstantiality just makes its one really lackluster note stand out more.

[Anonymous No.9604727]

I'm not gonna lie to you, even in their tasting room I could barely distinguish the difference between the three kinds they offered

Asahi is the superior weeb beer

imported macro beers are never a good decision. The taste of shit beer with the price of good beer

[Anonymous No.9604771]

>>9604732
don't forget they're usually not all that fresh, which negatively impacts the taste

i had asahi super dry in a good japanese restaurant (which surprised me since i always thought of it as a cheap shitty beer) in india and thought it was one of the best beers i've ever tasted. came back to the states and tried it again and it tasted like sapporo or even worse. i think these companies make premium import versions and cheap import versions.

Superior? I beg to differ, but it costs 30% less so it's good value.

But if you can crush a Sapporo can on your forehead, I will give you all of the respect you deserve.

[Anonymous No.9605736]

>>9605645
Some of them are imported from Japan (good taste) some from Canada (bad taste.)

[Anonymous No.9605745]

>>9605645
generally if you can find it in cans it's from Japan, from the bottle it's usually made somewhere else (Chinese ones taste like ass)

Red stripe is also a session beer which means it's only eight ounces per container.

Fuck session beers.

I drank a bottle of this, then read on the back that it was brewed and bottled in the UK. Everything is a lie.

I like Kirin, however if you look at the label

>Brewed under Kirin's strict supervision by Anheuser-Busch, Los Angeles, CA and Williamsburg, VA

Its Busch beer with a weeb label. I suspect sapporo and asahi have a similar American brew location.

Budweiser uses rice as its primary "grain" too.
