St.Bernardus Tokyo Sounds familiar? You are quite right, because in 2012 we launched a one-off brew on the occasion of the opening of the first St.Bernardus-themed café in the Japanese capital. Eight years later, you can sample our St.Bernardus Tokyo again, albeit with a new recipe!
The young Belgian illustrator Jonas Devacht created the artwork for the can, which consists of an impression of Japanese nightlife in the iconic streets of Kanda district, where you can find ‘Brasserie St.Bernardus’.
St.Bernardus Tokyo is an unfiltered ale, which has been brewed with a large amount of wheat, holding the middle between a white beer and a saison.
Character, taste, aromas
St.Bernardus Tokyo is famed for its hints of citrus, combined with likeable florals of chamomile and fruity yeast aromas of banana and red apple. Attentive beer fans may also detect a hint of clove and vanilla, as well as the typical esters of our unique St.Bernardus yeast. A refreshing beer with a spicy aroma and a slight hint of bitterness and sourness on the back of the palate! A real treat for the more adventurous beer fan.

A bit mild for a St. Bernardus brew, with a light grassy front and faint notes of clove and citrus, before esters kick in on the back end. Yeasty finish mixes with a slight grainy sweetness. Just seems…lacking, not quite a wit and not quite a weissbier.

Pour is a cloudy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is wheat malt bubblegum and coriander. Flavor is about the same. Some wheat malt a decent hit of coriander and some sweet but fruity ester. Like St. Bernardus was going to make a poor wit.

Foamy white head stayed on a hazy vivid gold body. Zesty aroma with citrus & herb. Medium bodied, lively in the tongue with a smoother dry clean back. Stone fruit, sherbet, sweet citrus, melon & chalky tastes with a tangy peppery finish. Lovely

Can - turbid gold with lively carbonation that kicks up a fluffy, lasting head - nose is medium sweet, earthy, musky, spicy, with some notes of melon, citrus - soft carbonation - full-bodied, but still light and quaffable - flavor is moderately sweet leading to lightly tart and lightly bitter - light spiciness and touches of stone fruit - lightly spicy finish - quite refreshing.
