Hop BroTsukioka Brewery's spring-limited Tsukioka Lemon sounds really interesting.
MugiWait, a beer with lemon in it!? Whole lemon? How much are they putting in there!
Hop BroIt's a fruit beer that uses organic lemons from Shibata, including both the peel and the juice, so the aroma is designed to really come through.
MugiPeel? What's that! If you add the skin, does the beer suddenly become super stylish?
Hop BroExactly. It's the lemon peel that gives the aroma its outline. And since they also add freshly squeezed juice and even put it into the fermentation tank, the fruitiness really stays in the beer.
MugiI see... but fruit beers usually sound sweet. What about this one? I'm curious about that line saying it has a light, easy-drinking finish!
Hop BroThat's the best part. The hop-driven dryness gives it a light, refreshing finish.
MugiWow! If the lemon aroma wafts up and the aftertaste is clean, that's perfect for spring. It really feels like a spring-only bottle!
Hop BroWhat's more, it goes on sale April 3, with reservations starting at 10:00 a.m. on March 27. It's sold at Tsukioka Brewery and Teramachi Tamari Station, and the online store also supports nationwide shipping.
MugiThen I have to try it! And at 880 yen (tax included), it's just right as a spring treat!
