MugiWait, Lemon It Be? That name already sounds like a lemon wrote a hit song! Beer as a Father's Day gift is kind of stylish!
Hop BroAnd the key point is that it's a fruit pale ale. It layers lemon juice tartness with citrusy aroma from Cascade and Centennial, so it drinks really easily.
MugiWhoa, but Cascade and Centennial suddenly sound like magic spells! Are those the names of superheroes chasing lemons?
Hop BroThose are hop varieties. They're great for citrus-like aroma, adding impressions like lemon and grapefruit to the beer.
MugiWhat is that! Then is first wort hopping another overpowered special move too?
Hop BroIt does sound like one, but it's a technique where hops go into the wort before the boil. Using Tettnanger and First Gold builds a base of lemon-tea-like bitterness, which is a smart move.
MugiOhh, got it! So it isn't just sweet and tangy, it also has a dry finish. That sounds dangerously easy to keep drinking! I might finish Dad's share first!
Hop BroAlso, at ABV 6.0% and IBU 32, it has a light body but still keeps real beer character. Chill it well and that pale gold color should really pop.
MugiWow, that sounds perfect for a hot afternoon or after work! If there's a Father's Day limited set, I'd absolutely pretend it's a gift and keep one for myself too!
Hop BroThat's the right move. It should be easy for IPA fans and pale ale fans to pick up, and the bright lemon character sounds so clean you'd probably grin after the first sip.
MugiDecision made! I want a cold glass of Lemon It Be right now. You and I both need to go drink this!
A Father’s Day release from Kagiya Brewery
Kagiya Brewery, a brewpub in Minamikase, Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki, has presented a new beer called Lemon It Be for Father’s Day. The brewery is also offering it as part of a Father’s Day limited set through its online shop, making it a practical gift option as well as a seasonal release.
Lemon-forward, but still clearly beer
Lemon It Be is a fruit pale ale built around the fresh acidity of lemon juice and the citrus aroma associated with Cascade and Centennial hops. The brewery describes it as a beer with restrained sweetness, a light body, and a dry finish, aiming for a profile that feels refreshing without becoming too soft or dessert-like.
Brewing details
The recipe uses Tettnanger and First Gold in first wort hopping, creating a gentle, tea-like bitterness underneath the brighter citrus notes. Lemon juice is added at the finish to connect the hop-derived citrus character with the fruit character in a natural way.
