<Mellow Lemon> is a new addition to Sapporo Beer’s Sapporo Nippon no Shin Lemon Sour range, with a launch date of 15 December 2026.
The product contains 5% alcohol and uses lemon-aging extract made by heating a paste prepared from whole lemons. This is intended to give it a mellower, gentler flavor than conventional lemon sour drinks.
The product was developed in collaboration with Pokka Sapporo Food & Beverage’s lemon master, with whom Sapporo Beer has worked for many years as a lemon specialist. It also uses semi-clear juice, an original ingredient developed by Pokka Sapporo.
