SMOKEHOUSE adds lemon-forward seasonal beer Citron Voilé
SMOKEHOUSE in Jingumae has added its June seasonal beer, Citron Voilé. The beer is described as bright and refreshing, with lemon aroma, a gentle bitterness, and a smooth sweet-sour finish from lactose, making it a natural fit for the hotter, more humid months.
Hop BroI wanted to bring up Citron Voile's debut today. SMOKEHOUSE in Jingumae just added it as their June seasonal beer.
MugiWhat! So it's a lemon-scented beer? The name alone already feels like summer walked in early!
Hop BroExactly. SMOKEHOUSE is a serious BBQ beer pub on Cat Street, known for that easygoing grown-up vibe where meat and craft beer just click.
MugiWhoa, that's basically a meat-and-beer paradise! But what does Citron Voile actually taste like?
Hop BroTheir post describes it as a cloudy hazy beer with fresh lemon aroma, a pleasant bitterness, and lactose for a soft sweet-tart finish.
MugiHold on, what is lactose? Did this suddenly turn into chemistry class?
Hop BroIt's milk sugar, and here it adds rounded sweet-tart texture. And hazy just means slightly cloudy with a gentler mouthfeel.
MugiOkay, so this is basically a summer rescue pint! Bright and refreshing, but still soft and friendly.
Hop BroAnd the photo shows it in a T.Y.HARBOR glass, which hints at that broader TYSONS-style craft beer connection too.
MugiWait, it comes with beer-culture lore too? If it works with BBQ, burgers, and fried food, I already want it as my first order.
Hop BroWhen that lemon brightness hits smoky food, the flavors snap into focus. It's not heavy, but it still has backbone, and now I want one too.
MugiThen it's settled! Take me to Jingumae so we can toast with Citron Voile and a burger in hand.
A seasonal hazy for early summer
SMOKEHOUSE is the Cat Street BBQ pub in Jingumae, built around the idea of lingering over food, beer, and an easygoing atmosphere. The restaurant’s official site frames it as a place to eat and drink freely, centered on Tokyo’s first authentic BBQ.
The Instagram post introduces the June seasonal beer, シトロンヴォワレ. According to the caption, it brings a clean lemon aroma, a pleasant bitterness, and a rounded sweet-and-sour profile thanks to lactose. It is presented as a hazy beer suited to the beginning of the hot, humid season.
The glass in the photo carries the T.Y.HARBOR Brewery logo, which ties the release back to the broader TYSONS craft-beer family. For guests ordering smoked meats, burgers, or fried sides, the beer’s citrus lift should work as a useful counterpoint.
This is not a flashy release, but a practical seasonal one: crisp, hazy, and designed for the weather ahead. For beer drinkers in Tokyo, it is the kind of limited offering that makes a BBQ-focused pub worth checking again as the season changes.
