Asahi Super Dry Dry Crystal is a new version of the widely popular Japanese that will provide drinkers with a more mindful option to try out this fall. The beer is brewed with a 3.5% ABV versus the original 5% to give it a more approachable profile for consumers looking to reduce their intake of alcohol. The beer is reported to deliver a full, satisfying flavor profile thanks to the use off Polaris hops and a higher fermentation rate, which will combat against concerns that it could have a bland or watery taste compared to the original.
The Asahi Super Dry Dry Crystal will hit retailers starting October 11, 2023 and responds to the changing dynamics within the alcohol industry as brands cater to consumers with lower alcohol consumption preferences.
