Hop BroThe draft lineup at Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi on 6/1 is pretty bold. Sixteen taps centered on pale ales, and the lineup itself is strong.
MugiWhoa, 16 taps? That's a lot! And if it's mostly pale ales, won't they all taste kind of the same?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. You can compare the spread in aroma and bitterness across beers like Yona Yona, Over Drive, Classic Pale Ale, and DPA.
MugiWhat? What's a real ale? It sounds like it's alive, and that's kind of scary!
Hop BroIt's not scary, it's not scary. Real ale usually has restrained carbonation and is often served while it settles in the cask, so it tends to have a soft mouthfeel.
MugiHuh, then it seems like it'd go well with the house-smoked dishes too! The pairing with smoked food is basically unfair, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. The grapefruit and orange notes from the hops cut through the smokiness, and you can also pick up the malt sweetness. Things with a grapefruit aroma pair especially well.
MugiThen I'll start with Yona Yona Pale Ale and compare it next with DPA and Over Drive!
Hop BroThat's a good order. If you go all the way to Sierra Nevada and Mirror Pond, you'll see the hop character like a textbook of American pale ale.
MugiI'm already hungry and thirsty! I can make comparing drinks in Kyobashi today's goal, right!
