- Sorachi Ace hops really take center stage. Strong citrus/pineapple flavors.
Spicoli Smash
Jeff Spicoli: That was my skull! I'm so wasted!
Sorachi Ace hops really take center stage. Strong citrus/pineapple flavors. Subtle malt punches through. Good summer beer, really light. Perfect for working outdoors, or if you just want to relax with something that won't make you drag your feet. If I were to pick a commercial beer to compare it to, it'd be Hoegaarden.
This is technically a 6A cream ale.
