But, the second one went down much better. For a light-tasting beer, it was just a bit hoppy, and the aftertaste disappeared on beer #2. I was eating Nacho chips with Volcanoe salsa (very hot), and the light Asahi was just the ticket for cooling things down! I think this would be a nice beer with a meal, something light to balance against a hot spicy dish.
I'll try some again, but this time I'll start with a clean palate, and see what I think. I don't think it will ever replace my beloved stouts, but then that's a bit of an apples and oranges thing, no?
cheers, frank

I'm just now having a Guinness, because it's cold.
But, BUT, I bought some beer from the non-refrigerated shelf of the liquor store, which beer is currently in the fridge, chilling. Once it's nice and cool, I'll have one. I've wanted to try one for a while, and tonight's the night (as Rod the Mod would say).
Yep. It's Asahi Beer.
I'm quite excited.
Full review to follow.
