MB, I really liked the American Wheat I brewed with it, the dominant lemon flavor from SA goes really well with the soft malt flavor from the wheat and really well with the crispness from most American Wheat yeast strains.
DO, I didn't get the pine flavor but I do enjoy piney hops

I got just a creamy lemon flavor and aroma from them. I've used in them in a summer ale and a Saison and had a similar profile. Wonderful hop!

New Belgium uses the sorachi ace hops in their spring seasonal APA "dig." Really good beer. I mostly get lemon from them. NB pairs them with the nelson sauvin and cascade hops. You could try a similar APA.
Here is what I have come up with for a recipe. Any input is appreciated.
Honey Lemon Wit
4.5 lbs Weyermann Pilsner Malt
4 Unmalted Wheat Berries
4 oz Honey Malt
4 oz Oats
.25 oz Sorachi Ace leaf at 60 min
.25 oz Sorachi Ace leaf at 10 min
.5 oz Lemon zest at flameout
