Sorachi Ace has a potent alpha acid content making it more than capable as a bittering hop, while its unique aromatics make it welcome in styles that embrace a bright citrus character. It can be used in styles that may call for such a character such as saison, witbier, and exotic riffs on IPA. Sorachi Ace is distinctive with a suggestion of dill and unmistakable overtones of lemon and fruit pith. Originally developed in the 1980s in Japan for Sapporo, recent years have seen Sorachi Ace gaining acreage in the Pacific Northwest. Its parentage includes Brewers Gold, Saaz, and Beikei No. 2. Alpha Acid: 11-14%.
