Asahi Nama Beer
Asahi Nama Beer, known in Japan as Maruef, first appeared in 1986 and lived on for decades only as a draught in bars before returning in cans in 2021. It is brewed from malt, rice, corn and starch in the brewery's mellow house style, at 4.5 percent and with lower carbonation than Super Dry; a later revision raised the degree of fermentation. It sits soft in the mouth, with a gentle grainy sweetness, a delicate hop aroma, moderate bitterness and a round, smooth finish.

What is a Pale Lager?
Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
Finding a similar Pale Lager
hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same smooth, smooth-drinking, malty character as Asahi Nama Beer will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
