After being exposed to Sorachi Ace hops in an AHS seasonal (South by Southwheat), I decided I really dug the lemon pepper notes. We've used it to great effect in wheat beers and a lighter saison, but I'm wondering about incorporating it into a hoppier style as they have a good alpha acid potential (13-16%). Has anyone used them in an IPA? I'm thinking they might be a little unbalanced for a single hop beast but was considering that in combination with Cascade and Amarillo, say, it might bring something excellent to the glass. Am I just building myself up for disappointment?
