Hop BroSagamihara's beer pub craft beer BLUE just tapped Kaminoshima Lemon Ale, and this one comes from Imabari Machinaka Bakushu.
MugiWhat, just one new tap? That makes it sound like the pub is putting a spotlight on this beer!
Hop BroExactly. It's a fruit ale style, made with Kaminoshima lemons from Omishima in Ehime, so the citrus aroma should really pop.
MugiOoh, but fruit ale style sounds tricky. Is it basically beer dressed up as lemonade?
Hop BroNot quite. It pushes the lemon character forward, but it still keeps real malt body, so it drinks like beer, not a sweet shortcut.
MugiWait, real malt body? Is this pint secretly doing bench presses?
Hop BroNo gym membership involved. That's brewer talk for how full it feels in your mouth, with a proper grainy backbone.
MugiOkay, got it! So you get bright lemon freshness without the kind of bitterness that scares newer drinkers away?
Hop BroRight, and craft beer BLUE being a calm second-floor pub makes it perfect for savoring one featured pour without distractions.
Hop BroIt also sounds ideal as a first drink or with food, which is why this draft fruit ale feels so easy to reach for.
MugiThis is dangerous for my self-control, because now I want a glass immediately.
Hop BroSame here. Put me in that pub with that lemon-scented pint, and I'm definitely ordering another one.

Kaminojima Lemon Ale is a fruit ale brewed with Kaminojima lemons grown on Omishima in the Shimanami area of Ehime. It is one of Imabari Machinaka Bakushu's signature beers, known for putting citrus character up front while keeping enough malt backbone to read as beer, not just fruit. The result is a clean, easygoing pour that should appeal to drinkers who want something refreshing without heavy bitterness.
craft beer BLUE is located on the second floor of Garden Building II in Sagamidai, a setting that suits a slower, more attentive drinking pace.
