Baeren Brewery Launches Kabosu Radler Made with Oita Kabosu Juice
Baeren Brewery, based in Morioka, Iwate, has released Kabosu Radler, a new product made with kabosu juice from Oita Prefecture. The beer is made without added flavoring and focuses on fresh fruit character, with green citrus notes and a subtle bitterness.
Hop BroToday's headline beer, Kabosu Radler, really caught my eye. Baeren Brewery in Morioka, Iwate made it with kabosu juice from Oita.
MugiWait, Iwate meets kabosu? That sounds like the north and south just formed a citrus alliance!
Hop BroExactly, and the style is a radler-style brew. It's beer with a bright fruity lift, so it's built to be easy and refreshing.
MugiHold on, what is a radler? The name sounds intense, but the beer is actually light?
Hop BroBasically, it's like a light fruit beer. This one especially seems designed for crisp drinkability instead of heaviness.
MugiOoh, and they used fresh fruit juice instead of flavoring? That feels seriously legit!
Hop BroThat's the key. They didn't just add aroma and call it done, they kept the kabosu's green notes and pithy bite, so the flavor has real shape.
MugiWow, a beer with scenery! If it has that slight bitterness too, it sounds way more grown-up than just sweet citrus soda.
Hop BroTotally. Baeren already does lemon and wild grape radlers, so this fits their fruit-forward lineup with kabosu taking center stage.
MugiThen I volunteer for first sip duty! Crisp plus layered sounds dangerously good on a hot day.
Hop BroDeal, because now I'm already picturing a frosty glass for it. That cooling kabosu edge has to shine.
MugiIt's settled, I absolutely want a Baeren Kabosu Radler right now. My brain has already popped the cap!
Product notes
Baeren Brewery has released Kabosu Radler, a new product made with kabosu juice from Oita Prefecture. Based in Morioka, Iwate, the brewery has built a lineup that ranges from core beers to seasonal and fruit-forward releases, and this latest addition continues that approach. The beer is made without added flavoring; instead, fresh kabosu juice provides the profile.
What stands out is the balance of bright citrus character and a subtle bitterness that adds depth. Rather than leaning on aroma alone, the drink is designed to show the fruit itself, giving the radler a crisp, layered impression. The result is a refreshing drink with enough complexity to keep it from feeling one-dimensional.
Baeren's catalog already includes fruit-driven beers such as Lemon Radler and Yamabudo Radler, so Kabosu Radler fits naturally into that family. The product is also listed through the brewery's official web shop and Rakuten shop, making it easy for fans to check the release.
