This daisan (third-category beer like drink) was released by Kirin back in July of 2010, to try and compete with Asahi's unstoppable Super Dry.Location : Japan > Tokyo

'Karakuchi Mugi' basically translates as 'dry tasting wheat' so you can see they were going for a 'super dry' taste.
It has a fresh light nose, but a disappointing taste.
It is quite dry but unfortunately it tastes like a daisan (fake beer) and not a lager (which the Asahi Super Dry is).
Although it doesn't have the strong metallic taste that most daisans have so it isn't unpleasant in that respect.
It's not a bad drink, it just doesn't taste like a lager really. It does have some weight to it in the mouth though, a lot of daisans have a very light, carbonated water feel. This was different.
I really like the can design though, it definitely stands out in the supermarkets and convenience stores.
I'll give it a generous 85 points.
