New tap

HOP MAN, a beer pub on the second floor of Sunrize Shonan in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, has added Isekadoya Beer's Meyer Lemon Radler to the lineup. Because the tap list changes regularly, a beer like this fits the venue's casual drop-in style well.

The beer is a radler, a style with roots in Germany, where beer was mixed with lemonade to make a more refreshing drink in hot weather. According to the post, this version uses 100% Meyer lemon juice plus lemon juice to balance sweetness and acidity. Tettnanger hops provide a gentle herbal accent, keeping the citrus in focus without stripping away the beer character.

At 4.0% ABV and 15 IBU, this is built for easy drinking. It pours a clear straw color, opens with bright lemon aroma, and finishes with soft sweetness and a clean, quick acidity. It works well as a first drink of the day, a palate reset, or a lighter choice alongside food. For drinkers who want citrus-led refreshment rather than heavy bitterness, this tap update is worth noting.
