The Premium Malts <Japanese Ale> Yūbae Kaoru Ale Limited Edition Launch

Suntory Limited will launch 'The Premium Malts <Japanese Ale> Yūbae Kaoru Ale' nationwide as a limited edition from Tuesday, September 1, 2026.

'The Premium Malts <Japanese Ale> Kaoru Ale' is characterized by its 'fresh aroma and rich taste,' achieved by combining the brand's carefully selected ingredients, our unique top-fermenting yeast, and the brewer's exceptional skill.

This summer, with the wish that 'our customers have a wonderful summer,' 'The Premium Malts <Japanese Ale> Kaoru Ale' and 'Ron Herman*' have collaborated to provide customers with a more fulfilling time.

*Ron Herman is a California-born brand that proposes fashion and lifestyle under the motto 'Make every day a good day.' In Japan, it operates 30 stores including concept stores (as of the end of February 2026).

This time, as the third limited edition following the May release of 'The Premium Malts <Japanese Ale> Natsukaze Kaoru Ale' (see news release No.15008) and the July release of 'The Premium Malts <Japanese Ale> Irohana Kaoru Ale' (see news release No.15024), we are launching 'The Premium Malts <Japanese Ale> Yūbae Kaoru Ale' with the concept of 'the end of summer.'

● About the taste and packaging

The taste: The sweetness and aroma derived from a blend of multiple dark malts, combined with the fruity flavor from European aroma hops and top-fermenting yeast, creates a rich flavor and aroma. Enjoy the gentle, lingering finish.

The packaging depicts a 'Ron Herman' store standing by the water under a twilight sky, expressing a calm scene reminiscent of a resort at the end of summer, enveloped in gentle waves.

Additionally, a 'Ron Herman' × 'Kaoru Ale' original cotton cloth set with a 6-can pack of 'The Premium Malts <Japanese Ale> Kaoru Ale' will be launched as a limited edition from Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
