  • Alpha Acids & Crop Year: We print the alpha acid percentage and crop year on the hop package. Alpha acid levels will vary within a general range indicated above. Crop year is the year of harvest. When pelletized and stored in oxygen-barrier bags at cold temperatures to reduce oxidation, hops can remain in good condition for 3 to 4 years.
  • Hop Form: Type 90 Pellets
  • Smells Like: Watermelon, Lemon, Dill
  • Suited For: Hoppy American Ales - IPA, Saison, Wheat Beers
  • Commercial Uses: Brooklyn Brewery Sorachi Ace Saison
  • Notes: Sorachi Ace is a relatively new hop which originates from Japan, though our crop is US grown. The lemon, dill, and watermelon like aromas of this hop is very unique and makes for a nice change of pace from the standard American hop profile of citrus and pine. Sorachi Ace can be used in any hop forward beer, it also plays well with the peppery character of Wyeast 3711 French Saison yeast. This hop first became commercially available to the US in 2006 and saw an increase in demand during the 2008 hop shortage. When Brooklyn Brewery began using Sorachi Ace in their farmhouse Saison, homebrewers quickly began to experiment with the hop.
