Orion Beer's "Orion The Premium: Sound of the Evening Calm Waves"
[2026/6/23]
The appearance is clear with a slightly deep gold color.
The aroma is impressively citrusy, reminiscent of orange peel.
It is vibrant but not overly flashy, and true to the name 'Evening Calm,' it has a relaxed atmosphere.
The aroma also features a fruitiness derived from Okinawa Yeast OB-001.
The taste includes citrus notes of orange combined with the spiciness of coriander.
Although the beer style is not officially listed, based on the ingredients, it is likely close to a Belgian Witbier.
It had that kind of refreshing quality and a gentle finish, which was very nice.

Orion Breweries, Ltd.
A glass that spreads a comfortable aroma and finish, reminiscent of the scene of an evening calm. The first limited edition release in the "Orion The Premium" series.
~New commercial "Bringing the pride of Okinawa to your relaxation." also launching simultaneously.~
Orion Breweries, Ltd. (Headquarters: Tomigusuku City, Okinawa Prefecture; President and CEO: Hajime Murano) will release "Orion The Premium: Sound of the Evening Calm Waves," the first limited edition product from the "Orion The Premium" brand, starting Tuesday, May 26, 2026, in the Okinawa Prefecture and Amami Islands region, as well as on the official online store. At the same time, we will begin airing the new "Orion The Premium" commercial, "Orion The Premium: My Own Okinawa Time."
"Orion The Premium: Sound of the Evening Calm Waves" is a limited edition product developed with the image of a moment wrapped in the sound of waves quietly lapping at a calm Okinawan sunset. Using the brand's signature Okinawa Yeast OB-001, we have created a beer with a fruity, elegant aroma, a pleasant finish, and a light yet deep, multi-layered flavor. The spicy, refreshing citrus scent and soft bitterness overlap, making it a glass that accompanies a relaxed time in your daily life.
"Orion The Premium" uses Okinawa Yeast OB-001, discovered from plants native to Okinawa's nature, and has been enjoyed by many customers as a premium beer unique to Okinawa. This yeast has the characteristic of consuming less of the umami components contained in the fermenting mash, achieving a deep flavor that balances richness and drinkability. "Orion The Premium: Sound of the Evening Calm Waves" also utilizes these characteristics to express a gentle yet memorable taste that evokes the scene of an evening calm.
In the midst of busy days, you want to cherish the time to quietly face yourself—"Orion The Premium: Sound of the Evening Calm Waves" gently accompanies such moments. Please enjoy it as a gift for loved ones for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or mid-year gifts, or slowly by yourself at the end of the day.
We will also begin airing a new commercial for "Orion The Premium" from May. In the "Orion The Premium: My Own Okinawa Time" spot, we depict the relaxation time at the end of the day as a high-quality moment wrapped in a sense of openness, as if surrounded by the nature of Okinawa. We propose the "pride" nurtured by Okinawa's nature, climate, and the thoughts of the people living there as an "inward luxury" to be tasted in daily life. We deliver a time to unwind with the breath of Okinawa's nature while staying at home.
