Prepare glass
Chill a tall pint glass or highball by filling it with ice and a little cold water for 1–2 minutes, then discard the water and most of the ice. Leave a few ice cubes in the glass if desired.

Mix base
In a mixing glass or shaker without shaking, pour 1 oz gin, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz simple syrup. Stir gently to combine for about 10 seconds to integrate the ingredients.

Assemble
Add fresh ice to the chilled glass (about 3/4 full). Strain the gin-lime-simple mixture over the ice.

Top with beer
Slowly pour 12 oz of chilled Asahi (or other dry Japanese lager) down the side of the glass to preserve carbonation and create a gentle head. Pour until the beer reaches the top, leaving a small gap so it doesn't overflow.

Finish and garnish
Give the drink a very gentle stir once or twice to integrate the beer with the gin-lime base (avoid vigorous stirring to keep carbonation). Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.
