Gravicask, half pint at Hop Beer Shop, shared with Finn. Bright golden body, filmy layer leaving upper part lacing on the glass. Promising smooth aromas of ripe citrus and herbal hops. Lemony hops up front to the taste buds, semi-dry, light malty sweetness beneath. Drying end, pine and lemon twist. Medium bodied. Tasty. (Chelmsford 23.11.2021).

Bright clear gold beer, decent white head. Palate is light, semi dry and has a good fine minerally crispness. Slightly thin malts, a reasonable sweetness, 'bout right for this pale ale. Ahhh Sorachi... such a room divider, but fortunately I am on the side of the room that just pities the other half whilst knowing they are wrong. This pale ale is bloody well hopped with this marvellous Japanese lupulus. Intense and fairly bitter lemon, touches of lemon peel and lemon sherbet. A herbal skunky bitterness is well intertwined along with a crispy pine. The beer finishes light and leaves a slightly spicy lemon bitter linger. Really punchy Sorachi beer delivered in a crisp bright pale ale outing and definitely one of the better beers I've had from Colchester.
