Craft Beer Spot Hathor taps GOOD HOPS' Tono no Kaze and ISEKADO's Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet
Craft Beer Spot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, has tapped two beers: GOOD HOPS' IPA Tono no Kaze and ISEKADO's DDH Hazy IPA Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet. The new lineup offers a clear comparison of two hop-driven styles.
Hop BroToday's story is the two contrasting taps just opened at Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka. GOOD HOPS's Tono no Kaze and Isekadoya Beer's Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet make a great side-by-side matchup.
MugiWait, those have aggressively memorable names! Tono no Kaze sounds breezy, but Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet sounds like cats joined the navy.
Hop BroFirst up, Tono no Kaze is an IPA from GOOD HOPS made with 100% Tono hops. Its lead hop is their in-house No Wind, and it throws off fresh green-apple and pear character.
MugiWhoa, but a new hop variety suddenly makes this sound like chemistry class. What exactly is No Wind?
Hop BroPut simply, No Wind is a hop bred for a specific aroma profile; in plain English, it is the star that brings green apple and pear into the glass.
MugiWhat is that, a superhero? If it is light and the aroma opens up as it warms, that is basically a two-stage transformation in one pint!
Hop BroThen Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet from Isekadoya Beer is a DDH Hazy IPA. It pours a hazy light gold, so it already looks like it came prepared to be juicy.
MugiDDH sounds like a code name! This is too much information at once. I am being attacked by cats, hops, and a fleet.
Hop BroDDH means piling on dry hops, basically a maxed-out hop aroma approach. You get passion fruit, strawberry, and piney resin, but it still finishes dry instead of turning heavy.
MugiThe second you said pine resin, a forest appeared in my head. But juicy, balanced bitterness, and a dry finish sounds dangerously drinkable.
Hop BroExactly, and that is why at Hathor I want to chase the light fruitiness of Tono no Kaze against the bigger aroma of Hop Nyaon with a side-by-side sniff test. For a drink in Kyobashi, this is a strong two-tap lineup.
MugiThen it is settled. Tonight is a two-beer mission: start with Tono no Kaze and finish with Hop Nyaon 12th Fleet. My throat is ready.
