Bottled Monday. Lots of lemon flavor from the sorachi ace... well see how she conditions out.
How did this turn out? I am interested in doing a lemongrass pale ale and need some Sorachi Ace. Where did you get your supply? I know OBK has some.
It was quite good, the hops were a little much at first but it mellowed out. I also dry hopped an ounce for 5 days prior to bottling.
Its all gone now but I quite enjoyed it, I think I gave a bottle to @brew (http://nbcba.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=137), maybe he can add his tasting notes.
OBK is where I got the Sorachi Ace from. I only ordered enough for the recipe so I dont have any extra kicking around. If I did you could have it.
Good luck and Im looking forward to hearing about your experience with this hop
I recall having this at the first meeting at Brewbakers - found it very nice as I recall. The Ace is different, first time for me wish I could get some more to get a good feel for it...
Yeah, I have a few oz orderd from OBK and will try it in a lemongrass Pale Ale or a Sorachi Wheat. I will let you know.
