This is a brew I've wanted to try for quite some time. I first heard of it when an old friend of mine used this ale as his drink of choice for his birthday celebration. I didn’t know what to think when opening this session ale. It’s packaged in a champagne bottle, stopped with a cork and wire basket, and it’s bottle conditioned with champagne yeast. I was cautious when opening this brew, anticipating a carbonated pop, but fear not, this ale is not as fizzy as a bottle of bubbly. Sorachi Ace pours a cloudy rust orange with a thick white head that takes a permanent residence on the top of the glass. Lots of visible micro bubbles on the rise. Fresh citrus aroma. Flavors of tangy orange zest and coriander. Full body that coats the pallet with a silky mouthfeel. Long clean refreshing citrus finish, like a sunset in June, lingering with golden citrus hues. This offering from Brooklyn Brewing is named after the rare japanese hops (Sorachi) used to create the vibrant citrus sunshine flavor. Really enjoyable brew, and considering the 750ML bottle, there is plenty enough to share, but I wouldn’t blame you for keeping it all for yourself.
Sorachi Ace comes in at 7.7% ABV.
Cheers!!!
