Hop BroAmaterasu Brewery in Enoshima has a new release! It's called "Amber Lover," and it's an amber ale with 5% ABV.
MugiWait, even the name sounds romantic! What does it taste like?
Hop BroIt's a clear amber color, with a roasty malt aroma and a caramel-like finish, but it's built to go down smoothly overall. What they're doing well here is keeping it from feeling too heavy.
MugiWhat is that! "Roasted malt" just suddenly turned into science class!
Hop BroSimply put, it's malt that's been lightly roasted to bring out a toasty character. It adds aromas like toast or nuts, but "Amber Lover" still keeps a light feel too.
MugiOhhh, so it's got that toasty character but still goes down easy? And it's one of those "you can keep drinking it" beers? Dangerous!
Hop BroExactly. And this time they're rolling out both tap service and canned sales at the same time. You can drink it fresh on-site, and if you like it, take it home in a can.
MugiThat's the ultimate setup! Stroll around Enoshima, drink it while looking at the sea, and then keep going at home...!
Hop BroAmaterasu Brewery also has that strong local identity as a brewery on Enoshima island, and this new release posted at 13:13 on February 21, 2026 really feels like a "beer you can keep drinking every day."
MugiThat's decided then! One on tap, another in a can, let's go fully fall in love with Amber Lover!
What's inside the new "Amber Lover"
In Amaterasu Brewery's latest post, "Amber Lover" was introduced. The style is Amber Ale, and the alcohol content is 5%. The post explains that it has a clear amber appearance, a toasty aroma from roasted malt, and a caramel-like finish, while remaining designed to drink smoothly overall.
The brewery describes it as a beer with no rough edges that you can keep drinking glass after glass, and it sounds like a well-balanced pour that aims for roasted depth without becoming too heavy. It should appeal not only to those who want the malt character typical of an amber ale, but also to people who usually prefer a lighter, easier-drinking profile.
The key point is the simultaneous tap and can release
A major point of this release is that, in addition to being served on tap in the taproom, canned sales were announced at the same time. With both an option to enjoy it fresh on-site and another to take home, the drinking occasions expand. For visitors exploring Enoshima on a trip or stroll, it also creates an easy way to combine an on-location experience with takeaway.
