Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Mikkeller Sorachi Ace Single Hop
IPA.
Brewed with water, malt (pilsner, cara-crystal and munich),
oat flakes, Sorachi Ace hops and yeast this beer is part of the Mikkeller
Single Hop IPA Series.
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
a hazy orangish amber with lots of floating sediment, a large white head and spotty
lacing.
Aroma: Lemon,
grassy and citrus hops and caramel malts dominate the aroma with a slight pale
malt presence.
Taste: Lemon
zest, citrus, herbal, grassy and tropical hop flavor, toasted, grainy and
caramel malts.
Overall: Lemony
and herbal, Mikkeller Sorachi Ace Single Hop IPA is a very interesting
beer. Since I enjoy lemons quite a lot I
enjoyed this beer. This 6.8% ABV isn’t
something I’d run out and get again, but it isn’t something I’d refuse if
offered. This is a very well made single
hop beer and worth checking out to see how the Sorachi Ace hop can unleash so
many flavors.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
