So I'm trying to prove to my homebrew buddies that Sorachi Ace is not a bad hop when used correctly. I've come up with this recipe combining it with Amarillo and Citra figuring the grapefruit flavor from the Amarillo and the orange flavor from the Citra will go well with the lemon and slight spiciness of the Sorachi. Let me know what you think!
