hopIQ found 10 beers with the same dry and light character as Sapporo SORACHI 1984. A top-fermented golden ale hopped only with Sorachi Ace, the variety Sapporo bred in Kamifurano on Hokkaido and registered in 1984. Most of the hops are grown in the United States, with a rising share from Kamifurano and northern Japan. Dry hopping and a gentle boil bring out the variety's character: hinoki cypress, cedar and lemongrass on the nose, with lemon peel and dill-like herbs behind. The body is light and the finish dry, with a lingering, woody hop bitterness. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
