Shonan Beer’s Summer-Only Lime Session Arrives at MOKICHI CRAFTBEER
MOKICHI CRAFTBEER is serving Shonan Beer’s seasonal Lime Session. Brewed as a 3.5% fruit lager, it leans into bright lime character and an easy-drinking finish. The beer builds on the response to last summer’s Aroma 3 and is available at the classic Fujisawa beer pub.
Hop BroSummer just got a house beer, Shonan Beer Lime Session. It's pouring at MOKICHI CRAFTBEER as a seasonal release, and the name already feels cold.
MugiWait, that sounds instantly crushable! And 3.5% ABV too? Does it still taste like real beer?
Hop BroThat's the smart part. It's built as a fruit lager with bright lime on top, but the finish stays crisp and easy to drink.
MugiOkay, but what is a fruit lager exactly? Juice in disguise, or beer wearing sunglasses?
Hop BroBasically, it's a clean, soft lager base with lime layered in. You get zesty acidity and fruitiness, but not sticky sweetness, so it works with food.
MugiAnd then the article dropped Motueka and corn like I'm supposed to nod wisely. Am I in brewing class now?
Hop BroMotueka is a New Zealand hop that pushes that limey citrus note. Corn lightens the body without making it rough, and the brewery also used what they learned from last summer's Aroma 3.
MugiOhhh, so it's low alcohol without feeling hollow. And you can drink it at the pub by Fujisawa Station? That's dangerous information.
Hop BroExactly, and MOKICHI CRAFTBEER has 12 taps on at all times with careful pours. Add NY-style pizza, grilled dishes, or roast plates, and now I want one immediately too.
MugiThen it's settled. On a hot day, one Lime Session with pizza sounds so good I want to head there right now.
A lime-forward limited fruit lager
MOKICHI CRAFTBEER in Fujisawa is pouring Shonan Beer’s Lime Session. It is a fruit lager at 3.5% ABV, designed around the refreshing acidity and juicy fruit character of lime, with a crisp, light finish that suits the hotter months.
Low alcohol, but not thin
According to the product notes, the beer was developed on top of the know-how gained from last summer’s well-received low-alcohol beer Aroma 3. It also draws on experience from Shonan Beer’s lime-based brewing work. New Zealand Motueka hops are used to echo the citrus profile, while corn helps keep the body clean and free of rough edges.
