Sorachi Ace Hops - Fresh Pellets - 1oz

Sorachi Ace is a unique hop variety originally developed in Japan and prized for its bold citrus character and distinctive aromatic profile. It has become a favorite among brewers creating saisons and experimental farmhouse-style beers.

Brewers often describe Sorachi Ace hops as delivering bright lemon zest, herbal complexity, and subtle notes of dill and coriander. These flavors combine to create a distinctive aromatic profile that can add complexity and character to both traditional and experimental beer styles.

Sorachi Ace performs especially well in late boil additions, whirlpool hopping, and aroma additions where its citrus and herbal qualities can fully develop.

Sorachi Ace hops are often used in farmhouse-style and specialty beers where unique hop aroma and citrus complexity enhance the finished beer.

Ideal for:

• Saison
• Pilsner
• Lager
• Farmhouse Ale

Sorachi Ace can also pair well with citrus-forward American hops when brewers want to create layered lemon and tropical hop profiles.

• Add early in the boil for balanced bittering
• Use late boil additions to enhance lemon and herbal hop flavor
• Add during whirlpool or hop stand to maximize citrus aroma
• Use light dry hopping to create bright lemon aromatics
• Store sealed in the freezer to preserve hop oils and freshness

Sorachi Ace hops are especially effective in saisons and farmhouse ales where their unique citrus and herbal character can shine.
