Hop BroThere’s a guest beer worth chasing in Kyodo right now. Magic Hour Kyodo is pouring gogoshima beer farm’s seasonal "Blood Orange Wit."
MugiWait, a blood orange beer? That name already has more pull than my weekend plans!
Hop BroYep, and it’s built on a Belgian witbier base. It uses blood oranges from Gogoshima plus kawachi bankan, so you get bright fruit without a heavy finish.
MugiWhoa, but Belgian witbier sounds like you just assigned homework. What kind of beer is that?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a soft wheat beer style. Smooth on the palate, a little hazy, and really friendly with citrus and gentle spice.
MugiNo way, then what was that special malt design part? Are they interior-designing the beer too?!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The pale hazy orange color isn’t just fruit juice; they shaped it with a small amount of special malt. They also lightly toast coriander seed so the spice links naturally into the citrus.
MugiThat is wild. Juice and peel separately? That’s some serious craft energy. So kawachi bankan isn’t just the 'fresh vibes' intern.
Hop BroExactly. The light, low-sweetness finish is what makes it smart. At Magic Hour Kyodo, it should sit beautifully next to spiced food or work on its own.
MugiI’m sold. I want a glass now. Pair that with spicy food and I might start speaking fluent witbier!
Hop BroThen we’re aligned: first round picks itself. This sounds like the kind of beer you need to taste at the pub, not just read about.

What it tastes like
The wheat-driven softness of the base supports vivid blood orange notes and the cleaner, sharper outline of Kawachi bankan. Sweetness is kept in check, so the fruit character stays expressive without turning heavy. The pale hazy orange color is created not by the fruit itself, but by a small amount of special malt, giving the beer a subtle seasonal look.
Brewing notes
- Generous use of blood orange grown on Gogoshima
- Kawachi bankan is used in both juice and peel form to balance aroma and finish
- Coriander seeds are lightly roasted to add a gentle spice note that connects naturally with the citrus
