Sorachi Ace Pellets Hops 5kg

Sorachi Ace Hop:

Sorachi Ace is a versatile hop variety originating from Japan. It was created in 1984 by Sapporo Breweries. It comes from a cross between Brewer's Gold, Saaz and BeiKei N.2 hops. It is available here in a 5kg pellet format.

Sorachi Ace offers moderate bitterness and distinctive aromas: spicy, herbal, lemony and slightly woody. Used in dry hopping, it will reveal notes of coriander, coconut, lime, lemongrass and dill.

It is perfectly suited for light beers such as lagers or, why not, saisons. It will stand out even more in hoppier and more acidic beer styles such as IPAs, pale ales and sour ales.
