It's hot out. I need something refreshing. Let's talk about this light golden brew that mages to quench my thirst starting with the name. Sorachi Ace is a name that seems very strange, almost nonsensical at first glance. Doesn't really tell you much about the beer at first glance right? Wrong, Sorachi Ace is the name of the hops used in this saison that really helps you though the summer months. Developed for Sapporo in japan the Sorachi Ace hop is a hybrid of Brewer's gold, Saaz, and Beikei Male #2 varietals that produce a very unique taste that reminds me of lemongrass and dill. The saison is a fine summer style, it's light, flavorful, and smooth. The Sorachi Ace is like character actress Margo Martindale. Every time I hear about it, I'm in. As soon as I hear the name I say yes, but at the same time, I don't really push myself to find something with her in it. This beer is so perfect, flavorful, and heck relatively cheap, but when I'm out and about and hear about something else.... I kinda forget about it. It's worth it though. If you haven't tried the Ace, grab yourself a bomber, sit on the porch, and relax.
