Citraba Koenji taps four new beers, including Citrus Gold 2026
Citraba Koenji, a beer pub in Koenji, has tapped four new draft beers. The lineup is led by the Shonan Beer x Citraba collaboration Citrus Gold 2026, alongside beers from Seoul Brewery, Fuji Kogen Beer, and Johana Beer.
Hop BroKoenji just got interesting. Citra Bar tapped four fresh kegs at once, and the lineup feels like a summer all-star team.
MugiWhat! Craft Beer Sakaba Citra Bar is that easygoing place you can slip into even solo, right? With four new taps, my eyes are not enough!
Hop BroThe headliner is Citrus Gold 2026, a Shonan Beer x Citra Bar Koenji collab. It is a golden ale brewed with Shonan Gold citrus from Yago Farm, bright and zesty with just the right bitterness.
MugiThat name already sounds like summer vacation! If it has Shonan Gold in it, does it turn into a reward drink instead of a beer?
Hop BroNot quite, because the base is a golden ale. You get light malt underneath and the citrus rides on top, so it stays beer and does not drift into juice territory.
MugiOkay, then what on earth is a California Common from Seoul Brewery? The name alone is making me reach for a passport!
Hop BroNo border control needed. Gold Rush drinks light and crisp, but you still catch biscuit-like malt and a little herbal character. Basically, toasty without feeling heavy.
MugiGot it, my brain just opened a cookie tin. And Fuji-Zakura Heights Beer's Weizen is that cloudy, fruity one, right?
Hop BroExactly. That soft wheat character gives it the gentle haze and a smooth fruity aroma that spreads nicely.
MugiThen what about Johana Beer's Earl Grey? Tea just barged into the beer meeting!
Hop BroAnd it works. The bergamot aroma lifts right out of the glass, so it sounds great after a meal and still fun next to their famous chicken.
MugiCitrus, toastiness, wheat, and tea makes a four-beer flight I absolutely need. I want to run to Citra Bar and start tasting all of them right now!
Craft Beer Sakaba Citraba in Koenji has tapped four new draft beers. The bar sits near the Koenji north exit, with a mix of counter and table seating that works well for solo visits as well as small groups. It usually keeps around 20 draft craft beers on rotation, and the day’s lineup is shared on Instagram.
This latest round brings together four beers with distinct styles. Citrus Gold 2026, a collaboration between Shonan Beer and Citraba Koenji, is a golden ale made with Shonan Gold citrus from Yago Farm. It leans into bright citrus notes with a clean bitterness. Seoul Brewery’s Gold Rush is a California Common with a light, crisp profile and hints of biscuit-like malt, herbs, and soft floral character. Fuji Kogen Beer’s Weizen offers the soft haze and fruity aroma typical of a wheat beer, while Johana Beer’s Earl Grey is a tea beer marked by a bright bergamot aroma.
With citrus, malt, wheat, and tea-driven beers on the board, the bar offers a lineup that is easy to compare side by side. Citraba is also known for its lemon sours and signature fried chicken, so it works as a place for both beer-focused stops and a full meal.
