Hop BroToday’s topic is the new tap at craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara: Kaminojima Lemon Ale just went on.
MugiWhat! Only one new beer? Just one fresh tap somehow makes it feel even more important!
Hop BroExactly. The beer is from Imabari Machinaka Bakushu, and it’s a fruit ale built around lemon.
MugiWhen I hear fruit ale, I immediately picture a juice-like beer and start getting suspicious!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. This sounds like it has a malt backbone, with lemon aroma and bright fruit character layered on top.
MugiHold on, you said malt like that explains everything. What is malt? Did class just start?
Hop BroMalt is processed grain, usually barley, that gives beer body and softness. So the grainy beer core keeps the lemon from feeling random.
MugiOhhh, so it’s refreshing but still properly beer. That clean, crisp finish sounds dangerously easy to love.
Hop BroAnd craft beer BLUE is a calm second-floor spot in Sagamidai, a quiet place to sip something like this without rush.
MugiThat makes it perfect for a first glass or with food, and now my brain is full of Shimanami lemon aroma.
Hop BroSame here. At this point I’m fully in the mood for a citrusy first pint, and Kaminojima Lemon Ale sounds exactly right.
At `craft beer BLUE`, a beer pub on the second floor of Garden Building II in Sagamidai, the board has been updated with one new beer: Kaminojima Lemon Ale from Imabari Machinaka Bakushu. The post highlights Kaminojima Lemon, a lemon ingredient from Omishima in the Shimanami area, giving the beer a clear regional character.
As a fruit ale, it is presented as a beer that keeps a malt base while layering in bright lemon aroma and fruit expression. That makes it an approachable choice for drinkers who want something refreshing without losing the structure of beer. It should work well as an early pour, but it also sounds like the kind of glass that can stand on its own.
`craft beer BLUE` itself is the kind of stop where a single tap change can be the reason to visit. The second-floor setting gives the pub a slightly tucked-away feel, and this update adds a citrus-forward option to the lineup for craft beer fans in Sagamihara.
