DD4D BREWING Releases "My Secret Lemon Trees 3," a Remake of a Popular Beer
DD4D BREWING of Matsuyama, Ehime, introduced "My Secret Lemon Trees 3," a remake of a popular beer for the Keyaki Beer Festival. It is an 8.0% hazy IPA that combines the aroma of Kushima lemons with Sabro, Citra, and Cascade hops.
Hop BroI'm here with DD4D BREWING's new release, and My Secret Lemon Trees 3 has been remade for the Keyaki Beer Festival.
MugiWhoa, the title alone is ridiculously stylish! A name like a secret lemon hideout already has me curious!
Hop BroTrue to DD4D BREWING in Matsuyama, Ehime, this one puts Kushima lemons front and center, and it's a Hazy IPA.
MugiOhh! But what's hazy? If it's a cloudy beer, does that mean it already looks thick and silky?
Hop BroExactly, that's part of it, but this one focuses on aroma and mouthfeel, so even at 8.0% ABV, the bitterness stays restrained.
Mugi8.0% is pretty solid! And with IBU 17, it already has a friendly face just from the numbers!
Hop BroThat's exactly the aim: the three hops Sabro, Citra, and Cascade layer together, and coconut and citrus spread softly through it.
MugiI want to drink that! And it's not just lemon, it even has a layered hop technique too. That's unfair!
Hop BroThe way they use malt, wheat, and oats is great too. A sweet, toasty finish lingers, so it doesn't stop at just being juicy.
MugiAnd if it goes with sausage, fried chicken, French fries, and pizza, that's basically an endless snack loop!
Hop BroExactly. You can enjoy it at DD4D BREWING's directly operated shop in Chifunecho, Matsuyama too, so it really makes you feel like saying, let's have another one.
MugiYeah, this is totally one I want to drink! Let's get ahead of it at Keyaki and then toast afterward!
Reimagined for the Keyaki Beer Festival
DD4D BREWING, based in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, is a craft beer maker founded in 2019. Under the vision of "creating a world where everyone can walk their own path," it continues brewing beers that incorporate local ingredients and collaborations. The featured "My Secret Lemon Trees 3" is a remake of a popular beer for the Keyaki Beer Festival.
A design where lemon and hops overlap
The beer style is Hazy IPA. The alcohol content is 8.0%, and the IBU is listed as 17, suggesting a recipe that prioritizes aroma and mouthfeel over putting bitterness front and center. In the beer description, the core is the aroma of lemons grown in a "secret place" on Kushima in southern Ehime, nurtured by the sea and sky, the sun, and the sea breeze. Layered on top are three hops, Sabro, Citra, and Cascade, bringing out bright notes of coconut and citrus along with lemon aroma. A sweet, toasty finish from malt, wheat, and oats is another hallmark.
A beer that's easy to imagine drinking
Food pairings listed include sausage, fried chicken, French fries, and pizza. Salty, oily dishes would likely balance the juicy aroma and soft mouthfeel. It is also available at DD4D BREWING's directly operated shop in Chifunecho, Matsuyama, making it a quintessentially DD4D-style new release that lets you enjoy both local ingredients and careful aroma design.
