Hop BroSagamihara's craft beer BLUE just tapped Kaminojima Lemon Ale from Imabari Machinaka Bakushu.
MugiWhat! A lemon beer already sounds like cheating in the best way!
Hop BroAnd it's a fruit ale made with Kaminojima lemons from Omishima, Ehime, so the bright aroma and juicy citrus really lead.
MugiOkay, but does fruit ale mean it turns into fancy juice and forgets it's beer?
Hop BroThat's the trick. You layer in fruit character but keep the malt-and-beer structure, so the beer backbone still shows.
MugiHold on, what is a beer backbone supposed to be? Is this pint doing posture training?
Hop BroPretty much "it still tastes like beer," just easier and lighter to drink. That makes it great for the first pour of the night.
MugiThat sounds perfect after work... and craft beer BLUE has that calm second-floor space, right? That's a whole mood.
Hop BroExactly. It's on the second floor of Garden Building II, opens at 5 p.m., and since this is a single tap, you can really focus on how the aroma lifts and how it lands.
MugiNow I'm sold. It sounds good before food or with food, and I'm fully ready for a citrusy pint.
Hop BroSame here. If the lemon stays vivid without getting tiring, then tonight's detour pretty much has to be craft beer BLUE.
MugiLocked in. Let's start with Kaminojima Lemon Ale and kick off Sagamihara beer time properly!
Tap Update
craft beer BLUE in Sagamihara's Sagamidai area has tapped Imabari Machinaka Bakushu's `Kaminojima Lemon Ale`. The pub sits on the second floor of Garden Building II, which gives it a calm, slightly tucked-away feel. It is the kind of place where one beer can become the main reason to stop in after work.
The beer is a fruit ale brewed with Kaminojima Lemon from Omishima in Ehime. It leans into clean citrus aroma and fruit character while still keeping the shape of beer, so it should drink as refreshing rather than overly sweet. That makes it a good fit for drinkers looking for a lemon-forward pint or an easy first pour.
Because this is a single-tap update, the appeal is straightforward: you can focus on one beer and follow its aroma, mouthfeel, and finish without distraction. craft beer BLUE is well suited to that style of drinking, with a relaxed second-floor setting and a tap board that changes often enough to keep regulars checking in.
