Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness and light astringency. Solid SA offering.

Keg at Man in the Moon, Stockholm. Hazy amber, rich creamy head. Huge aroma of dill, lemon yoghurt and coconut. Mid sweet with medium-full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Lightly caramelly malt. Hops dominate almost completely. Long bitter finish. Tasty, but one dimensional.

330ml bottle from Beer Central, Sheffield - Hazy gold with white head. Aroma is citrus fruits, lots of. Taste is sweet citrus fruits followed by pine resin, and bitterness. Not as good as Axe Edge, but nice nonetheless.

Bottle at home, 29th August 14. Great beer, nice to get some Sorachi. Good aroma, taste is fabulous, musky lemon, citrus. Delicious, not sure why any beer fan would not appreciate this hop, combined with a Buxton Classic.

Hazy amber beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and crisp. Airy creamy malts. Little spice. Lovely Sorachi Ace hops - lemon cream with traces of orange citrus and herb. Light spicy finish. Lovely Sorachi Ace treat. Long live this hop and a pox on those who wish it exterminated.

Tap@ black door. Hazy amber, thick head. Grapefruity, sweet, kiwi, hoppy aroma, awesome freshness here. Grapefruit, citrus, fruit juice, this one reeks of fruity juicinesds you get from breakfast juices. Awesome. Medium carbonation, grapefruit lingering. Edit. Have I had the same beers as others, could mot detect any coconut in my beer. Anyhow, good anyway, could very well have it again anytime.

Bottle. Slightly hazy golden beer with a thin head and a light, slightly sour floral aroma. Flavour is sour, bitter and has a slightly metallic edge. It?s got nice body and I was hopeful from the aroma. It?s not undrinkable but it?s not especially pleasant either. A bit of a let down.

(Keg at Black Door, 20140815) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium size, white and it lasted long. Aroma had fruitiness, exotic fruit and the horrid coconut. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, coconut, more coconut, too much coconut, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste had coconut, malts and bitterness. A clean brew but too much the horrid coconut from Sorachi Ace.
