Based in Matsuyama, Ehime, DD4D BREWING has released Easy Walker, a new lager made with Ehime-grown iyokan peel. The beer blends fresh citrus aroma with a subtle tropical hop character and a clean finish.
Hop BroToday's new release is DD4D BREWING from Matsuyama, Ehime dropping an iyokan-peel lager called Easy Walker.
MugiWait, citrus peel in a lager? That already sounds like a guaranteed crisp hit to me!
Hop BroAnd the style is Iyokan Lager, with 4.5% ABV, so it's built to drink light and easy on a hot day.
MugiOkay, but Mosaic and Ekuanot sound less like hops and more like finishing moves.
Hop BroThey’re hop varieties. They add tropical notes, and stacked over that fresh iyokan aroma you get layered citrus depth in the glass.
MugiWhat is that, why did my mouth water instantly? And when they say the finish is clean, that's basically a super tidy aftertaste right?
Hop BroExactly. It doesn't drag sweetness around; it snaps off neat. At 30 IBU, it's moderate bitterness by design, so it won't bully you.
MugiIBU always sounds like homework, but if it's basically a bitterness ruler, I can work with that!
Hop BroDD4D BREWING started in 2019 and has been using collaborations to create new beer experiences, so this one really feels like a glass full of Ehime.
MugiIt launched on June 18, 2026, and it's on the online store, at their own shops, and at stockists, which means the hunt is easy for once!
Hop BroThe bill is malt, iyokan peel, and Mosaic plus Ekuanot, so it keeps lager drinkability while sneaking in aroma play. I'm already stuck in first-sip fantasy mode.
MugiSame. Hand me a properly chilled Easy Walker and I'll be grinning before the first pour. I'm fully in I-need-this-now mode.
