Tasting Notes: A crisp kind-of wheat with a lot of citrus tones, especially from Sorachi Ace hops.

This is my house summer beer, I've modified it since the first time I made it but it's been a crowd pleaser. I originally made it with Citra hops but I've grown not to like them as much, and moved to Amarillo. However, the Sorachi Ace is the real star of the show, with it's lemony character that many casual beer drinkers have not encountered yet, and are shocked by. Despite being only around an ounce of it, it is still extremely present. It's a simple grain bill, the only hard part is the citrus additions (still not hard, obviously).

You may use 100% flaked wheat if you would like, I went with 50/50 flaked/malted wheat to keep the lauter simple.
