Tokyo - Japan's top brewer Asahi Breweries said on Tuesday it had developed a beer that changes taste over time as the fermentation process continues after it is bottled.
The Asahi Super Yeast Draft changes its aroma and flavour through a second phase of fermentation after its basic taste is created in the primary fermentation at factories, Asahi said in a statement.
The secondary fermentation continues for about two to three months, if bottles are kept in rooms with temperatures between 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, Asahi said.
"After a month, its smooth taste is enhanced. In two to three months, the gorgeous aroma increases, giving the beer abundant and smooth flavour with crisp aftertaste," the company said.
The product will be introduced in eastern Japan.
