At Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, the draft beer for May 7 was the Nara Brewing × VERTERE collaboration beer “Tifina”. True to the Keller Pils style, it is designed with restrained carbonation, allowing the malt sweetness and delicate hop aroma to come through clearly. Its pale golden color, honey-like aroma, and soft mouthfeel are especially memorable, while the finish reportedly leaves behind a gentle bitterness and refreshing quality derived from being unfiltered.

Also recommended as featured taps are Revision’s “Disco Ninja IPA” and Left Hand’s “Milk Stout Nitro ver.” The former is a juicy IPA with layers of Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, and Amarillo, offering citrus, tropical fruit, and even resinous notes. The latter stands out for the creamy mouthfeel created by nitrogen gas, along with flavors of roasted coffee and chocolate.

The rest of the lineup is also worth noting. The lagers include Super Dry, Memory Bouquet, and Murakami Seven Lager. The ales include Red Ale Real Ale ver and Kinki Pale Ale Crush ver. The selection also features fruit-forward Raspberry Pink, the IPA Sansho W-IPA, Snow Monkey IPA, and Heaven’s Age, creating a lineup that ranges from crisp lagers to aromatic IPAs and dark beers.

Hathor is a beer pub with 16 taps, and one of its attractions is that you can enjoy draft beer alongside house-smoked foods. For anyone in Kyobashi looking for beers that pair easily with food, this looks like an appealing day to visit.
