Taste Changing Beer!

Asahi Breweries, Japan’s top brewer, recently stated that it has developed a beer that changes taste over time. This is due to the fact that the fermentation process continues after it is bottled.

The brew, dubbed The Asahi Super Yeast Draft, changes both its aroma and flavor through a second phase of fermentation after its basic taste is made in the primary fermentation at the factories.

If the bottles are kept in a room with a temperature held between 10°C and 20°C, its second fermentation continues for about 2-3 months. "After a month, its smooth taste is enhanced. In two to three months, the gorgeous aroma increases, giving the beer abundant and smooth flavor with crisp aftertaste," said the company.
