Craft Beer Spot Hathor taps Oni Densetsu collaboration IPL and lemon IPA on 4/11
At Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, taps opened on April 11 including the collaboration beer 'YUYA BOYS IPL - Jamboree SP Ver' with Oni Densetsu Beer and Minoh Beer's 'Mellow Lemon.' With 16 taps, the beer pub offers a broad lineup from lagers and IPAs to stouts.
Hop BroToday, Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi is on fire. With the 4/11 taps opening, everything from lagers to IPAs and dark beers is lined up at once, and the place is basically running a full-blown tap festival.
MugiWhoa, 16 taps is way too many! If there were that many, I'd have my brain happily cross-wired by my third pint!
Hop BroThe standout is Oni Densetsu Beer's YUYA BOYS IPL. It's a collaboration brewed for KOBE BEER JAMBOREE 2026, and with Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe, it brings citrus and tropical notes with the crispness you want from a lager.
MugiCitra and Mosaic sound like some kind of hop spell! So what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroPut simply, they're ingredients that build aroma and bitterness. So this IPL is interesting because the citrus and bitterness come forward, while the finish stays clean and lager-like.
MugiI see! Then next I'm curious about Minoh Beer's Mellow Lemon! With lemon in the name, it already sounds refreshingly over the top!
Hop BroIt's a juicy session IPA made with fully ripe domestically grown lemons raised without pesticides. The lightly hazy appearance layers hop-driven fruitiness with lemon aroma, so it's light but still satisfying.
MugiLight and satisfying is kind of unfair! And if it's domestic lemon, I can drink it looking classy!
Hop BroIf you want to push further, there's Revision's Wat Wat Wat. It's based on a double IPA and clocks in at 11.2%, but the aromas from Strata, Simcoe, and Mosaic stay together so well that it feels almost unreal how restrained it is.
Mugi11.2% and balanced? That's like being strong and elegant at the same time - isn't that cheating!? And if there's also the sweet-tart Underwater Luminous, I can't choose today!
Hop BroThat's exactly why Hathor is fun. You can pair it with smoked dishes and compare beers, so you can build a flow from a light pint to something more contemplative, and it's the kind of place that makes you want to linger in Kyobashi.
MugiAll right, I'll start with Mellow Lemon! And hop big bro, you take YUYA BOYS IPL. Today, both of us are drinking the ones you absolutely have to try!
