Developed in Japan in 1984 for Sapporo Breweries, Ltd., Sorachi Ace is a cross between Brewer's Gold, Saaz and Beikei No. 2 male. It is available in limited quantities, however, it remains a popular variety among craft brewers for its unique citrus fruit, herbal and dill aromas.

Usage of this hop can be directly linked to refreshingly dry Japanese Rice Lagers, however with some experimentation its lemon flavour may pair well with a Saison, Wit, or Kolsch.
