Slight sweet aroma. Full on dark malt flavor, like a stout. Finish is mostly malt with a lingering dark malt presence. Also a moderate hop presence lingering in the far background. Not as sweet as most browns I’ve had.

Creemore Springs Altbier Collaboration Ale
Dry, sweet, hoppy smell. Crisp flavor with equal balance of hop and malt. Aftertaste is very clean malt taste, with lingerings of hop sweetness in the background. Without the slight sweetness, would be almost identical to the Dusseldorf alt beers.

Asahi Super Dry
Sweet aroma. Sharp bite combined with sweetness, which quickly fades and just leaves a kind of mouth-watering effect in your mouth. On bigger gulps, get a slight malt taste. Overall a big flavor rush that is fairly easy drinking. Got better add it warmed, killing of the overly sweet taste and just left the malt predominant. This 500ml can was from LCBO in Canada and labeling says it was actually brewed in Japan. Bought it on December 8th, date code on bottom reads “U/0126C H013”. I’m guessing that means Julian calendar date 126- or 126th day of the year.
