Hop BroHere’s a spring highlight: Domyoji Beer has released a seasonal "Tensan Ale Lemon." It’s a beer from the Fujiidera, Osaka brewery, bursting with Dōmyōji Tenmangu lemon!
MugiWow! Even the name sounds refreshing. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt leans toward a fruit ale style, but instead of pushing sweetness, it puts lemon aroma and flavor at the center. With 4% ABV, it’s designed to go down light and easy.
Mugi4% makes it sound kind of juice-like, but does it still feel like a real beer?
Hop BroThat’s where it’s well done. It has high so-called "sessionability," so it’s easy to keep drinking without getting heavy, while still leaving the core of the malt intact.
MugiWhat? Sessionability? You mean like at a live concert?!
Hop BroHaha, in beer terms it means a balance that doesn’t feel heavy even if you drink it for a long time. It works well as a first drink or with food, and has a different kind of appeal from an IPA-style bitterness showdown.
MugiOhhh! It sounds like it’d go into an endless loop with fried chicken or fish nanbanzuke, or any meal that goes well with lemon!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Domyoji Beer is a microbrewery that has been working with local ingredients since 2019, so this release fits that story perfectly. Sales started on April 13, and it’s on sale and getting good reviews now. You can buy it in the online shop, but since it’s seasonal, checking stock is a must.
MugiTurning local fruit into the flavor of the current season is just too good...! I’ve decided already, I’m opening "Tensan Ale Lemon" tonight!
Hop BroNice. Chill it well, let the aroma open up, and drink spring in with the first sip!
Overview of the New Product
On April 13, 2025, Domyoji Beer announced the launch of "Tensan Ale Lemon." In the official announcement, it is described as "selling well," and it is being offered as a seasonal limited-edition product made with lemons from Dōmyōji Tenmangu. The style is designed to bring lemon aroma and flavor to the forefront, with an alcohol content of 4%. It is finished to deliver the lightness associated with low-alcohol beer and a crisp aftertaste.
What Makes It Worth Drinking
The key point of this beer is not that it is a fruit beer emphasizing sweetness, but rather its drinkability, built around the refreshing character derived from lemon. It should work well not only as the first beer when the weather gets warmer, but also as a beer to enjoy with meals. For craft beer fans who want to enjoy citrus aroma, it could be an option that offers a different angle from the usual bitterness-focused IPA.
