Nonic pint draft at New Bohemia Wurst + BierHaus in Golden Valley, Minnesota. The pour is clear darker golden copper with a small off white head. The aroma is cereal grain, with herbal spice, and yes, pickle vegetal notes. The taste is the weird vegetal, herbal pickle of the nose, finishing with smooth clean cereal grain malt. A bit of sweetness in the finish. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and a bitter dry finish with the hop herbal pickle thing lingering. I have not had many Sorachi beers, and the ones I have had I don’t remember tasting like this. Regardless, interesting and fun to try.

Sample at Winter Beer Dabbler, 2016. Light brown color, lots of malt flavor, dry with grain, a little earthy, just a little thin. Decent head. Some very mild caramel. They did a good job with this one.

Autumn Brew Review 2015. They got this one right, true to style. Dark brown, caramel, sweet malt flavor and yeast. Good palate. Some very light fruit. This is the best beer I have had from Waconia.
