Hop BroHOP MAN in Chigasaki just tapped Isekadoya's lemon radler. It’s called Meyer Lemon Radler, and it sounds perfect for a hot day.
MugiWait, HOP MAN, that easygoing beer pub? That name already tastes like summer!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a fruit-beer radler, a style that came from Germany where beer was mixed with lemonade for a lighter drink.
MugiI thought radler was the name of a bike bell! It has actual history? Why does this suddenly feel like class?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. This one uses 100% Meyer lemon juice plus regular lemon juice, so the sweetness and acidity stay nicely balanced.
MugiWhoa, okay! But you said IBU 15 earlier. What even is IBU? That sounds like a secret organization!
Hop BroIBU is the bitterness scale, and 15 means very gentle bitterness. Enough to feel like beer, but not enough to get in the lemon’s way.
MugiGot it, so lemon is the star and beer is the reliable sidekick. Then ABV 4.0% makes it a great first drink?
Hop BroExactly. And the hops bring Tettnanger herbal notes, while the clear straw color makes the whole thing feel bright and easy with food.
MugiThat sounds way too good. I already want a first sip in the heat at HOP MAN.
Hop BroSame here. On a day when you want citrus instead of heaviness, that clean, fading acidity sounds just right.
MugiThen it’s settled. For totally serious research purposes, I need a toast upstairs with a Meyer Lemon Radler!
New tap at HOP MAN
HOP MAN, a beer pub in Tsujimura, Chigasaki, announced a new guest beer on Instagram. The beer on tap this time is Isekadoya Beer’s Meyer Lemon Radler. HOP MAN is a second-floor beer pub in Chigasaki where drinkers can drop in and choose from the day’s rotating draft lineup.
The post explains that the radler style traces back to Germany, where cyclists mixed beer and lemonade as a way to cool down in hot weather. In this version, the brewery uses 100% Meyer lemon juice plus lemon juice to balance sweetness and acidity. Tettnanger hops provide a gentle, herbal backbone, while the 15 IBU keeps the bitterness soft and restrained.
At 4.0% ABV, this is clearly designed as an easy-drinking beer. Its clear straw color, bright citrus aroma, soft sweetness, and crisp acidity make it a strong choice for hot weather or as a first pint before moving on to something more intense. Rather than emphasizing bitterness or malt depth, it leans into refreshment and citrus clarity.
In a beer pub like HOP MAN, where the tap list changes regularly, a bright fruit beer like this stands out. It is the kind of glass that works well as a palate reset, a match for a casual meal, or simply a refreshing way to beat the heat.
