Wow, I had Brooklyn's Sorachi Ace last weekend at a beer fest. Wow, that hop is begging to be in an IPA! It's just so bright and citrusy. Anyone do and IPA with it yet? Maybe a SMaSH?
I need to get my hands on some. Where's a good place to pick up pellets?
To clear up some confusion I do believe Brooklyns Sorachi Ace is a Saison and not an IPA as some appear to believe. With that said this is a hop I am anxious to use.
Yes, it is a Saison. I just thought the citrus hop character would go well in an IPA.
It does make a great single-hop IPA. The only problem is that it fades quickly, and after a month or so it isn't nearly as hoppy.
It works well in an American Wheat too.
I also did a saison with 100% SA and the freNch saison yeast. Turned out pretty killer. It was my take on a fantome style saison, which I prefer to dupont.
that sounds awesome. i'm getting ready to brew a saison with SA...care to share the recipe dirty?
